New Girl on the Block

The comparison between Zarine Khan and Katrina Kaif is inevitable. No matter how much Zarine keeps downplaying the similarity, there’s no denying her startling resemblance to Kat in certain facial features - the rosy lips, the jawline and the nose. But that’s not important to Zarine right now. What’s occupying her mind since the last many months is her first film Veer in which she plays Salman Khan’s love interest. She would rather want to be talked about her role and her debut film than her looks. So how exactly did this Mumbai girl, who once used to weigh 100 kg and wanted to be a doctor, ended up playing a princess in a period film opposite Salman. It’s a long story, and Zarine, who doesn’t come from any Bollywood family, is glad she’s where she’s today. But then, it’s just the beginning of a long journey for her.
