It's been more than a decade since Zareen Khan entered Bollywood in 'Veer'. The film failed to ignite the screens despite the presence of superstar Salman Khan, but it opened a few doors for the young actress. She happily gives all credit to Salman as it was he who launched her into 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."

Zareen, who is best known for movies like 'Housefull 2', 'Ready' and 'Hate Story 3' was last seen in 'Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele' in 2021. The actor who ventured into Bollywood in 2010 opposite Salman Khan with 'Veer', is also a popular face of the Punjabi film industry.

She ventured into the Punjabi industry, where she flourished due to her acting prowess. While Zareen has starred in Punjabi movies like 'Jatt James Bond' and 'Daaka', she has also featured in a few South Indian movies, such as the Tamil film, 'Naan Rajavaga Pogiren' and 'Chanakya', which is a Telugu film.

Besides working in regional movies, Zareen Khan has also made her presence felt in the Television industry. For the unversed, Zareen hosted an MTV show called 'MTV Troll Police' in 2018. The B-Town beauty, Zareen Khan, is celebrating her 35th birthday today.
