Katrina Kaif looks irritated as Zareen Khan asks her for an autograph

Actress Zareen Khan recently posted a throwback clip of her meeting Katrina Kaif at the Race premiere in 2008. In the video, Zareen is seen nervously asking Katrina to sign an autograph, while Katrina appears less than impressed. The fans were quick to react to the clip and some have berated Katrina for her apparently annoyed look. One of the users asked how Katrina could be rude to Zareen, proposing that Katrina might have threatened by Zareen’s similarity to her and her association with Salman Khan, who started Zareen’s career in Veer.

Zareen has expressed how her similarity to Katrina initially helped her career but later turned out to be a professional hurdle. On a podcast interview with Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa, Zareen revealed that she was criticized and often misunderstood in the industry. She was considered an outsider and did not feel like engaging with others, which made people think that she was conceited. Zareen’s beginning in Bollywood was not easy, and she could not find her place even after being launched by Salman Khan.

The actress has had a versatile career, playing roles in films such as Housefull 2, Hate Story 3, and 1921. She also featured in the hit number “Character Dheela” in Ready and achieved stardom in Punjabi films with films such as Daaka and Jatt James Bond. All the odds she had been facing did not deter Zareen from working in the field and establishing her own identity as an artist.
