Zareen Khan, who shared a screen presence with Salman Khan in movies like Veer and Ready, shared her experience on working with him. The actress said that everyone feels a certain kind of fear around Salman. She shared that she felt more intimidated than fear. But the superstar makes everyone feel comfortable. The Aksar 2 actress recalled her fan moment during the shooting. Zareen called Salman Khan ‘a good person’ and stated that she was like a creep around him during the shoots.
In a chat with star couple Bharti Singh and her husband Harsh Limbachiya for their podcast, Zareen said “Salman ke saath toh hamesha hee woh darr rehta hai (there is always some sort of fear one feels around Salman). More than fear, intimidation. But Salman is such a good person, he never made me feel that way. If he realised that I was intimidated by him then he would say something or do something to make me feel better. I was like a creep around him during the shoot. I remember in-between shots, in the resting period, he would sit outside his vanity with the crew and I would sit there with them too. Salman would be doing his thing and and I would keep staring at him and he would ask me, ‘kya hua? (What happened?)’ and I would say, ‘I can’t believe I am sitting opposite you. I’ve only seen you in movies and my whole family is a huge fan’.”
“I remember how he would ride his cycle on Carter Road (Bandra, Mumbai), and I had chased him. I am sure he doesn’t even remember because I was double or triple my size. And suddenly I am sitting opposite Salman Khan. So I would keep thinking about all that and would keep staring at him. I never thought (I’d one day work with him),” she added.
Zareen is known for her work in Hate Story 3, Housefull 2, 1921, Wajah Tum Ho, Gopichand Chanakya, Hate Story 2, Jatt James Bond, Daaka and Dard to name a few.
