Zareen Khan made a big debut in Bollywood opposite Salman Khan but from the moment the posters for Veer were revealed, she was compared to top actress Katrina Kaif. The actress did have a passing resemblance to Kaif and that doesn’t appear to have worked in her favour.
“Back then, social media was not as powerful as it is today, and we were majorly dependent on media houses and newspapers. So, I somehow feel that the public was not really given a chance to see me and have a perception of their own. It was fed to them as gossip. Our audience is also a little gullible that way, believing whatever they are fed instead of forming their own opinion,” Khan told a leading newspaper.

Khan also opened up about being body-shamed and said that even after shedding around 40 kgs, the fat-shaming was relentless.
“I was called ‘Fatrina’. Even when I went out for events, nothing good was ever written about me; they would talk only about my weight,” she said.
