In 2010, Zrinka won 'Ples sa zvijezdama' which is the Croatian version of Strictly Come Dancing.
Speaking to West End Frame, Zrinka said: "One of the main reasons that we are actors in the first place is because of our audience. Audiences who love us, criticise us and guide us. Coming to one of the best theatre cities and stages in the world, from a small country, was a huge and daunting step for me because I had no built-in audience. Nobody knew me. Thank you West End Frame, thank you West End colleagues and friends, and mostly - thank you to the audiences for making me feel that I belong here. One of the first lines my character says is 'Well, it's not even my language, this English!'. All I can say now is 'Well, it looks like it is now...!'."
