I owe a lot to Salman

"I am here because of Salman Khan. He is my mentor who discovered me and gave me my first Bollywood break. He has always been very supportive and I owe a lot to him," said Zarine.

"I never thought that I would become an actress. I wanted to become a doctor, but destiny had something else in store for me. I am happy with the way my life is shaping up," she added.

The actress was in the capital to support "The Body Shop Loves You" campaign.

Before the release of Veer she was referred to as Katrina Kaif look alike. But Zarine says post the film, people have started recognising her.

"It's fair enough if people compare me to her (Katrina). She is a beautiful woman and I take the compliment in a positive manner. Frankly speaking, after 'Veer', people have started recognising me as Zarine Khan," said the 25-year-old actress.

Though Zarine has not signed any new movie as of now, she is keen on doing a movie that gives her potential to perform.

"Talks are on for my next film, but nothing has been confirmed as of now. Will let you know whenever it happens. Also, I want to work in a movie that gives me scope to perform. I don't want to run around trees," explained Zarine.

Zarine Khan's Fight Against the Flab

Mumbai: Never mind the controversy surrounding her weight when Salman Khan starrer Veer was releasing. Zarine Khan was candid enough to admit that there was a point when she used to weigh more than one hundred kilos. But Zarine, we hear, is aiming to touch Kareena Kapoor’s weight.
Salman’s girl has hit the gym with a vengeance and she is not only going got daily work-outs, Zarine has opted for a combination of everything that she could have done.
“I am going for workouts for six days a week. I let my muscles recover on a Sunday. I have become very regular with my work-outs and try not to miss even one day whatever are be my engagements for the day,” she says.
Not only this, Zarine has hired three separate trainers for every kinds of training she does in the morning.
“My workout regime includes Pilates for an hour every morning with Yasmine Karachiwala. I do weight training thrice a week on alternate days again with Yasmine. I do Bootcamping thrice a week on alternate days with Ajit Mohite. The days I feel very tired to do a bootcamp, I make sure I do some kind of cardio exercises like brisk walking, swimming , jogging etc.,”

Zarine Khan's Soft Corner for Softy

If there's one thing that makes Zarine Khan's heart melt it's her cat 'Softy'.

Ironically enough the cat was exactly in that state when she first bought him home. We come to hear that 'Softy' was so fragile when Zarine first had him that he had very few chances of surviving.

Reveals Zarine, "Softy had very weak bones and was malnourished. I had to admit him to a hospital in Lower Parel where he was kept on drip for almost a month and I would go see him every single day of that month."
