Katrina Kaif got trolled for her expressions while giving Zareen Khan an autograph; Veer actor clarifies why she posted video that stirred controversy
Appearing on the Hindi Rush podcast, Zareen said that the comparisons that were made between her and Katrina hurt her professionally, because 'nobody wants to live under anybody's shadow', and that it was worse for her because they belong to roughly the same generation. She said that she views the comparisons as a compliment, because she considers Katrina to be extremely beautiful. Asked about the video she shared and the negativity it attracted, Zareen continued, 'I found it so sad. I posted the video because it brought back a happy memory, but people are hungry for dirt, and that's what they did.'

Zareen continued, 'In the video, I'm smiling from ear-to-ear like a fool. Katrina is a superstar. In those days, actors weren't as comfortable as they are now with blending in with their fans. It wasn't like everybody had access to stars earlier, so we can't expect to be treated like best friends. I was a fan, and she was the star. Maybe something was going on in her mind that we aren't aware of. It's only others who are pointing out her expression, but for me, it was a special moment. If Katrina got trolled, so did I.'

Zareen said that she was accused of sharing the video out of spite for Katrina. She said that she would never do something like that. 'I'm not a vicious person. If I was, I would probably be more successful. She might have had 50 other things on her mind, she might have signed so many autographs already. Who knows? Sometimes, you're not in a good mood because of some personal issues. I don't think there was anything negative.'
Sharing the video on Instagram earlier in July, Zareen had written on Instagram, 'Came across this video and the memory is still so fresh. I clearly remember this moment… it's from the premiere of the movie RACE. Thanks to a friend who got us passes, we were able to experience the magic firsthand. At that point, I was just a wide-eyed fan, never imagining I'd one day be a part of the film industry. But Look at how happy I am in this video, a total fangirl… grinning from ear to ear, getting an autograph from the woman I thought was and is breathtakingly beautiful!'
Zareen debuted with the film Veer, starring Salman Khan and directed by Anil Sharma. She went on to star in the erotic thriller Hate Story 2, and the comedy film Housefull 2.

"Looks Amazing" - US-Based Chef Makes Perfectly Crisp Onion Bhajiyas, Impresses Foodies
Videos of foreigners cooking popular Indian dishes often go viral on Instagram. Sometimes they receive interest because a vlogger has nailed the recipe, other times because they failed spectacularly. In recent times, we have come across several examples of the latter. But a recent reel by a US-based chef has shown us that there is still hope left. Ana Sofia from Los Angeles shared a recipe video for crispy and yummy onion bhajiyas. Her post has received a lot of appreciation online. Also Read: Foreign Vlogger Makes Gulab Jamun With Eggs, Gets Schooled By Indians Ana starts by chopping and slicing the onions until she gets "super thin" strands. She cuts up some green chillies before prepping the ginger, garlic, coriander leaves, mint leaves and limes. Later, she blends these ingredients along with a little yoghurt to make a special green chutney. She roasts cumin seeds and coriander seeds together. She then pounds them in a mortar and pestle until she gets a powdered masala. She combines it with besan, rice flour, onions, turmeric powder, red chilli powder and other spices in a large bowl. She also adds grated ginger, garlic, and coriander leaves for extra flavour. She mixes all the ingredients by hand and divides the mixture into small ball-like shapes. She deep-fries the bhajiyas until they are crisp and golden brown. Finally, Ana can be seen tasting the fried treat with her homemade chutney. She seems to enjoy it, noting, "That's spicy!" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ana Sofía (@anasofiafehn) Many Instagram users reacted positively in the comments. Take a look: "It is indeed a yummy snack." "Indian food for the win." "Bro, that was amazing." "Omg, that looks delicious." "Always fun, edited to perfection, easy to follow and always worth watching! Bravissimo!" "Mumbaikar here, I approve of this." "Knife skills on point."
