Zareen Khan revealed in a recent podcast that being compared to Katrina Kaif significantly hindered her Bollywood career, leading to harsh criticism and making her feel like a failure. After her debut in 'Veer' with Salman Khan, the constant comparisons made her feel isolated and perceived as arrogant within the industry. She mentioned being afraid to leave her house due to negative comments about her appearance and clothes. Zareen struggled to find work and had to accept whatever roles came her way to support her family. Despite early excitement about the comparisons, she ultimately felt it backfired and negatively impacted her professional growth.
