Housefull 2 (2012), Hate Story 3 (2015), Ready (2011) — Zareen Khan has been a part of successful films. But the actor's career which began opposite Salman Khan with Veer (2011), never really picked up momentum and instead, found herself doing more work in Punjabi and south cinema.
Ask her the reason and she shares, "I had gotten a lot of backlash after my first film. It took me some time to understand how things work here in the Hindi film industry. I was a newcomer, and belonged to a non-film background. I was 21-years old, not as smart as the 21 year olds you have now. I was a complete tomboy, who had never thought about acting, and I was put in that space, so tried to cope with that. I was asked to put on weight for Veer, as I was playing an 18th-century woman in it, and women then were little on the plumper side."
