What happened when Katrina Kaif met her ‘look-alike' at the Race movie premiere? Actress Zareen Khan shares a video
Long before Zareen Khan made her Bollywood debut alongside Salman Khan in Veer in 2010, she was just another fan in the crowd—one with a dream and a striking resemblance to a certain A-list star. In a resurfaced video from 2008, a starstruck Zareen is seen meeting Katrina Kaif at the premiere of Race, eagerly collecting her autograph with a wide, disbelieving grin. Now, years later, Zareen has shared that moment on Instagram, pulling fans into a time capsule of fangirl energy, quiet tension, and what now feels like cinematic foreshadowing. Zareen captioned the clip with fondness, calling it a 'memory that's still so fresh.' She recalled how a friend got her passes to the premiere, where she got to witness Bollywood up close for the first time. Back then, she never imagined she'd one day enter the same industry—or be constantly compared to the very woman signing her autograph that night. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zareen Khan 🦄🌈✨👼🏻 (@zareenkhan) But it's not just Zareen's excitement that caught attention—fans have zeroed in on Katrina Kaif's body language in the clip. While Zareen radiates joy, Katrina appears distant, barely acknowledging the fan in front of her. Viewers have since speculated whether Katrina sensed something more than just a familiar face in the crowd. Was it a coincidence—or did she already know about the newcomer rumoured to be Salman Khan's next launch, a woman often dubbed her doppelganger? Though no direct interaction beyond the autograph occurred, that night became symbolic in hindsight. Two years later, Zareen entered the industry, often referred to in headlines as Katrina's lookalike. Her performances in Housefull 2, Hate Story 3, and 1921 helped her carve her own path, while her stint in Punjabi cinema added another layer to her identity beyond the comparisons.

Pasta with Strawberries? Iga Swiatek Reveals Her Unusual Take On Wimbledon Snack
Last Updated: Swiatek shared her love for pasta with strawberries and yogurt, claiming Polish strawberries are better than British ones, sparking playful controversy. Iga Swiatek cruised past Danielle Collins in their third-round match on Centre Court Saturday, showing few signs of struggle on the grass. But it wasn't her dominant performance that stirred conversation — it was her post-match revelation about one of her favorite meals. Pasta with strawberries 🍓 @iga_swiatek 's favourite meal is an interesting one 😂 #Wimbledon — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 5, 2025 A Wimbledon Classic — With a Twist Each year, the All England Club estimates that more than 35 tons of strawberries — typically served with cream — are consumed during the tournament. The beloved treat is such a symbol of Wimbledon that strawberry-themed merchandise can be found throughout the grounds. Swiatek, however, introduced an unexpected variation during her on-court interview: 'You should try it, guys — pasta, strawberries, a little bit of yogurt." Later, she doubled down by posting a photo on Instagram of a bowl containing exactly that. Iga Swiatek shares a photo of her favorite meal, pasta and Lord. 😭😭😭😭 — The Tennis Letter (@TheTennisLetter) July 5, 2025 The dish, known in Polish as makaron z truskawkami, literally translates to 'pasta with strawberries." It's a sweet summertime staple in Poland, typically made with noodles topped with blended or mashed strawberries, sugar, and a creamy ingredient like sour cream, heavy cream, or — in Swiatek's case — yogurt. 'Why is it such a big thing? Everybody should eat that," said Swiatek with a grin after her win over Collins. 'I think in summer, kids are eating it a lot. I don't know. It's just a perfect mix of tastes." Polish Strawberries > British Strawberries? Asked whether Poland or England has better strawberries, Swiatek didn't hesitate. 'Honestly, I think Poland," she said. 'Because we have better climate for strawberries, right?" Then, smiling again, she added: 'Now Wimbledon is probably going to ban me from answering these questions."
