Zareen Khan says her mother's ill health has kept her away from films

Bollywood actress Zareen Khan has revealed that her mother’s ill health caused her to stay away from movies for the past year and a half.

The 'Veer' actress told media that her mother’s health took up most of her time in the years she was absent from the silver screen. She said now that her mom was feeling much better, returning to work was a possibility.

Zareen Khan made a dream Bollywood debut after she was cast alongside superstar Salman Khan for the 2010 film 'Veer'. However, her career from then on has been progressing in fits and starts. Her last movie was Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele (2021) alongside Anshuman Jha, featuring LGBTQ undertones and was released exclusively on Hotstar. Zareen Khan has also worked in Telugu, Tamil, and Punjabi films.


Speaking to the press, the actress revealed that she was learning Kathak and other dance techniques and was back on her fitness regime. She also hinted at some soon-to-be-made announcements.

Khan will be next seen in Nagabhairav, a Tamil horror film in which she’s playing a double role. She added that she was thankful for having the opportunity of being more than just a pretty face.

Nagabhairav is a horror-thriller that will show Zareen Khan perform extraordinary stunts, something that the actress hasn’t done yet, in her short career.
