“I don’t know about camp, but, yes, I believe in being loyal to the person (Salman) who brought me to the industry. He doesn’t have any block in his head. In professional life, I am free to do whatever I like. I do not have a Bollywood background and do not know a lot of people here; so wherever I am in a fix, I fall back on him (Salman),” Zarine said in an interview.
“I was a struggling model and was looking for some kind of work to take care of my family. I was doing small print ads now and then for saris. One day I got a call from Mukta Arts. They called me on the sets of Yuvvraaj. There I met Salman. When I asked for his autograph, he said, ‘No sweetheart you will sign autograph for the world’. Later I got to know that he has selected me for the film,” she added.
Zarine has been roped in for Housefull 2 and says it will help her in breaking her image.
“I really wanted to do this film because I wanted to break the perception of people who thought that because I am from the UK, I can’t speak Hindi and I am not fit for a particular look. I wanted to break the image I had during Veer. I think Housefull 2 will help me in proving my point,” she said.
But the positive response to her item song Character Dhila with Salman in Ready has raised her hopes.
” Veer was a dream debut with Salman. Everything was so good, but the film didn’t do well. It was written off everywhere, my weight was criticised. I was wondering what went wrong, why no one is supporting me? The media just broke me off. Whatever event I attended, they wrote about my dressing, my weight again and again.
Asked if she has any other project in her kitty, she said, “
After Housefull 2, I might be doing another film that I am not sure of as yet, but it’s not with him (Salman).
