Zareen Khan can't imagine being in B'wood without Salman Khan

Zareen Khan, who claimed to fame with Veer, has given all the credit to superstar Salman Khan for introducing her to Bollywood. Zareen opined that she could never be a part of the filmdom without him.

Mumbai: It's been a decade that Zareen Khan entered Bollywood with Veer. The film failed to ignite the screens despite the presence of superstar Salman Khan, but it opened a few doors for the young actor. She happily gives all credit to Salman as it was him who launched her in the film industry.

"It's been a rollercoaster ride. I am somebody who never dreamed of being a part of this industry. I thank Salman for giving me the opportunity. I never thought that I could be a part of the film world without him," Zareen told IANS.

She added: "I did not have to struggle to enter into films but my real struggle started after I became part of it. I do not come from a filmy background, so it took me a while to understand how this industry works. I won't say that it's been 10 years and I have figured it all. Honestly, I am still learning. But, today I am much better than what I was when I just came."

Speaking of Zareen's upcoming projects, she has a few films in her kitty but the shooting of all her projects came to a halt owing to the COVID-19 lockdown.

"I was about to shoot for a Punjabi movie in London in May. I had to start work on a Hindi horror film too, and even on my digital debut show. Everything is uncertain now. I don't know when things will return to normalcy. Seeing the current situation, it seems it will take time to resume - especially in my industry where most of the work is team-based," Zareen said.
