Zareen Khan made her Bollywood debut with Salman Khan in Anil Sharma's Veer in 2010. She was also seen with Khan in a special song in Ready and acted in films like Housefull 2, Hate Story 3, Aksar 2, and 1921. A lot of people compared her with Katrina Kaif due to their resemblance.

Talking about the same in an interview with Navbharat Times, Khan spoke about the same and said, "People come in the industry to create an identity for themselves and not to be someone else's lookalike or shadow. I have struggled to make a place for myself in Bollywood for 11 years, but till date, people tag me as Katrina's lookalike. No filmmaker wants to work with a lookalike or duplicate."

She added, "I think I have a universal face. I apparently look like a lot of people. Some call me Pooja Bhatt's resemblance, some say Preity Zinta, some even state I am Sunny Leone's lookalike. I don't understand why don't I ever look like Zareen Khan to people."

She also spoke about the media and how being tagged as Kaif's lookalike spoiled things for her. She revealed, "Now media is media. The media has to know everything ahead of time and because of this, all my work got spoiled. The media told the news that the girl in the film Veer looks like Katrina Kaif and it spoiled all my work. This news has led to a feed in the audience that the girl in Veer looks like Katrina and thus people were not given a chance to create their own opinion about me."
