I am not a 'monkey' on Salman Khan's back, says Zareen Khan
Mumbai (Online): Bollywood prominent actress and model Zareen Khan admitted she owes a big part of her Bollywood debut to the superstar Salman Khan but denied using him for jumping up the career ladder.
Speaking to media, Zareen Khan, who has completed 12 years in the Indian film industry, said that her co-star Salman Khan has limited role in her success.
She said “I’m thankful to Salman because I would’ve never entered the industry if it was not for him. He gave me an entrance to the industry. But my struggle started after I became a part of the industry because then I knew nothing. Salman is an amazing person but he is also a busy man. I cannot be a monkey on his back and bother him for little things. A lot of people to date think that all the work I do is through him and that’s not true. Salman is a friend and just a phone call away but I’m not pestering him. And that undermines the struggle, the hard work that I’ve done.”
She further said about her journey in the industry, “Actors are insecure. They are indispensable and replaceable. And nobody really cares. I’ve always been very content in my own space. So, I have never been in any race. But I do think I’m quite replaceable, right now. Unless you are an A-lister, people won’t wait for you.”
