When
actress
Zareen
Khan
made
her
Bollywood
debut
opposite
Salman
Khan
in
Veer,
she
became
the
talk
of
the
town
because
of
her
appearance.
While
some
gushed
over
her
innocent
face,
others
called
her
the
lookalike
of
Katrina
Kaif.
Even
today,
most
people
recognise
Zareen
as
a
lookalike
of
Katrina.
Apart
from
her
resemblance,
she
was
also
in
the
limelight
because
of
her
weight
that
she
had
to
gain
for
the
film.
In
her
recent
tete-a-tete
with
IANS,
Zareen
said
that
even
though
she
gained
weight
because
she
was
asked
to,
people
criticised
her
left,
right
and
center.
Recalling
those
days,
Zareen
said
that
when
she
made
her
debut,
her
weight
became
a
national
news.
"In
the
beginning,
it
was
really
difficult
because
of
the
comparison,
my
weight
was
almost
a
national
issue,"
said
Zareen.
The
Hate
Story
3
actress
also
said
that
despite
making
a
grand
Bollywood
debut
opposite
Salman,
Veer
backfired
on
her
and
she
was
left
with
no
projects
post
its
release.
"When
my
very
first
shot
happened
I
didn't
even
know
where
the
camera
was.
I
was
that
dumb
and
naive.
When
I
am
so
inexperienced
and
I
am
working
with
such
experienced
people,
they
give
you
instructions.
I
was
supposed
to
look
like
that
and
I
followed
instructions,
and
then
when
the
film
released
it
backfired
on
me.
From
my
looks
to
my
weight
to
everything,
I
couldn't
understand
what
I
did.
It
was
funny,
it
was
disturbing.
There
were
too
many
emotions
at
one
time.
It
went
wrong,
and
for
some
time
that
I
didn't
even
have
work,"
said
Zareen.
She
concluded
by
saying
that
she
has
learnt
her
lesson
that
nothing
is
permanent
in
this
industry,
as
perceptions
change
with
every
film
and
nothing
should
be
taken
to
heart.
