What Zareen had said about being compared to Katrina

Over the years, fans have drawn comparisons between her and Katrina several times. In 2023, Zareen, during an Ask Me Anything session on Reddit, had said that people comparing her with Katrina 'backfired' as the film industry didn't give her a chance to prove her individuality. A person asked Zareen on Reddit, "People compared you a lot with Katrina Kaif in your early days in Bollywood. How did it make you feel and did it have any impact on your career?"

She replied, "So when I entered this industry, I was literally like a lost child, since I don't come from a filmy background. So it made me feel really happy being compared to Katrina, as I was her fan too, and found her really pretty. But it backfired on my career as the people of this industry didn't give me a chance to prove my individuality."

Zareen last film

Zareen was last seen in Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele (2021), directed by Harish Vyas. The film also featured Anshuman Jha, Ravi Khanvilkar, Gurfateh Pirzada and Nitin Sharma.
