Salman Khan has launched a number of Bollywood actresses. Some made it famous in the Hindi cinema industry, while others faded away or were not accepted. Zareen Khan is one of these actresses, who made her acting debut in Salman’s action flick ‘Veer’ in 2010. Despite the fact that her performance in the film made an effect, she was unable to make a name for herself in the industry. Zareen Khan recently discussed her struggle, criticism, and the reason why her full potential has yet to be realized.
In a conversation with Hindustan Times, the actress revealed that despite being in the industry for 12 years, she didn’t get much work. The actress of Hate Story 3 said that she is often asked why she hasn’t done enough work in the films to which she says that it is not in her hands to get work at the end of the day. Zareen Khan further added, “There are too many factors, “First of all, the most important thing to be a part of this industry is to be very social, attend all the parties, and connect to people. Somehow at the beginning of my career, I didn’t know how to network and be seen at these parties is so important for your job.”

Elaborating additional, she expressed that since she did not make that much effort to socialize or connect with people inside or outside the showbiz, she lacked opportunities. “The major trend right now is that everybody is everybody’s friend and they are working with their friends. She further asks “How will people like me get work if people keep recommending their friends in Bollywood?”

Zareen Khan feels that filmmakers have not discovered her talent well. In her opinion, people from the business have judged her on what they have seen on the screen. Finishing her point, Zareen mentioned, “People do not know me on a one-on-one level and that’s why they don’t know my potential. They are not really open to giving me a chance and that look at me beyond just a hot, eye candy”.
On the work front of Zareen Khan, we were last seen in Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele, directed by Harish Vyas. He has also done less in all Punjabi films.
