After learning about Zareen's wish to be a cardiac surgeon, Bharti Singh expressed her shock. When asked about the same, Zareen recalled, "I'm very good at studies." She continued, "Whatever I planned in life, that didn't happen. I never planned to be an actress and that happened."
When asked why she had never thought of becoming an actress, Zareen recalled her school and college days when she was overweight. She said, "In school and college, my weight was more than 100 kg and I was a tomboy. I wanted to be a cardiac surgeon because my mom is a heart patient and she wanted me to study this and then do her surgery. That was my family's plan but that didn't happen."
Zareen talked about her weight, "I was 100 kgs and thought I was going to be a doctor and the weight doesn't matter." She mentioned that she was chubby since childhood but later got obese. Zareen added, "I was very comfortable with my weight. I hear people getting bullied for their weight but no one dared to bully me."
Zareen reflected on how she never had the sense of style and fashion that actors had. She went on to say that she lost weight to get ready for the training to become an air hostess. Zareen revealed, "I thought it was the best job for me according to the qualifications and was best paid. During that time, I lost weight and like a fan I met Salman Khan and my life changed."
Regarding Zareen Khan, the actress debuted in Bollywood in 2010 alongside Salman Khan in the film Veer.
A few months ago, Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa started making podcasts on a regular basis. The duo has conducted interviews with a number of well-known people, including Suniel Shetty, Vidyut Jammwal, Orry, Shiv Thakare, Manisha Rani, Farah Khan, Rohit Shetty, Jannat Zubair, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Randeep Hooda, and many more.
