THROWBACK: When Zareen Khan Shared Her Casting Couch Experience!

Zareen Khan had quite the dream Bollywood debut opposite Salman Khan in ‘Veer’. 

However, the ‘Hate Story 3’ actress has also had to face discomfort in the industry – from being constantly compared to Katrina Kaif to even facing the casting couch.

Zareen Khan’s casting couch experience

In an old interview with Pinkvilla, Zareen had shared her unpleasant experience with a director during her initial days – how he had tried to rehearse a kissing scene with her.

Zareen had said – “I don’t wanna be naming people, but in the whole pretext of trying to rehearse a scene, the other person is like you have to let go of your inhibitions, and at the time I was relatively very new, so I am like okay.”

“(He said) you know what we will do a kissing scene. I am like what? No, I am not doing any kissing scene as a rehearsal,” Zareen shared.

Another person had also propositioned her allegedly – “This person is telling me you know we can be more than friends and all and you know then I will specifically look into the projects you are getting. I will make you lead and all. I said no, I don’t work like that.”

It’s sad that such casting couch incidents, unfortunately, continue to taint the glamorous world of Bollywood. Talking about Zareen’s latest work – she was last seen in the movie ‘Hum Bhi Akele, Tum Bhi Akele’ which is streaming on Disney + Hotstar. She played a lesbian character.
