When Zareen Khan made her Bollywood debut opposite Salman in 'Veer', people were quick to notice that she had a passing likeness with Katrina Kaif. Soon, the focus shifted to her body type.

"When I entered the industry, I was like this lost child. I was a 20 or 21-year-old, not as polished as the 20 or 21-year-olds we have now. (I had) Nothing to do with the Bollywood industry and there I was on a film set with the biggest superstar of the country," Zareen recalled about starring with Salman.
"When my very first shot happened I didn't even know where the camera was. I was that dumb and naive. When I am so inexperienced and I am working with such experienced people, they give you instructions. I was supposed to look like that and I followed instructions, and then when the film released it backfired on me. From my looks, to my weight to everything, I couldn't understand what I did. It was funny, it was disturbing. There were too many emotions at one time," Zareen added.

"It went wrong for some time that I didn't even have work but this industry has taught me that nothing is permanent here. Perceptions change with every film and nothing should be taken to heart," she summed up.
Zareen was last seen in 'Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele', which released on Disney Plus Hotstar a while back.
