Zareen Khan hilariously claps back at ageist troll saying ‘shaadi kar lo, buddhi ho rahi ho'
Actor Zareen Khan recently took to Instagram to deliver a sharp and humorous comeback to an ageist troll who commented on her post, saying, 'Shaadi kar lo, buddhi ho rahi ho' (Get married, you're getting old). Rather than ignore it, Zareen responded with wit and clarity—calling out the regressive mindset that views marriage as a solution to ageing or life's problems. In a new video, actor Zareen Khan advocated for women's independence and critiqued the notion that marriage guarantees happiness. Zareen Khan claps back at ageist trolls She went on to highlight how marriage is often positioned especially in Indian society as a cure-all for everything. Zareen questioned why, when someone is unproductive or "not doing anything" with their life, families often default to 'Shaadi karwa do' as a solution. 'How is that helpful?' she asked. 'If someone can't take care of themselves, adding another person to the chaos won't fix anything—it might just ruin two lives instead of one.' Zareen also pointed out that women's independence is still seen as threatening in many households. 'If a girl starts becoming too independent or opinionated, families panic and say, 'She's slipping out of our hands.' And again, the solution is: get her married.' Ending her statement with a reality check, she asked, 'Is marriage some kind of magic? From what I see, most marriages today barely last two or three months. So no, marriage is not the answer to every problem.' Zareen Khan's career Zareen Khan, who began her career with the 2010 film Veer opposite Salman Khan, has long faced public scrutiny, including unfair comparisons to Katrina Kaif. Zareen gradually established her own identity with performances in films like Housefull 2, Hate Story 3, and 1921. Apart from Hindi cinema, she has also worked in Punjabi, Tamil, and Telugu films. Zareen has often spoken out against body shaming and societal expectations. She was last seen in the 2021 film Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele.

This film released in 2015 was a superhit, actress gave many bold, initmate scenes with hero and villain, movie is..., lead actors are...
Released in 2015, Hate Story 3 was no ordinary thriller; it came wrapped in seduction, betrayal, and scandal. Directed by Vishal Pandya, this was the third instalment in the Hate Story franchise, and easily its boldest one yet. Packed with intimate scenes, wild power games, and explosive twists, it had audiences hooked and scandalised. Actress Zareen Khan shocked fans by breaking every boundary of boldness onscreen. Her chemistry with both co-stars, Sharman Joshi and Karan Singh Grover, was off the charts. The film featured 'behisab lip-lock scenes' and left no room for subtlety. One thing was clear: this wasn't a film to watch with your family. As many said after its release, 'She crossed every limit of boldness.' What's the story all about? The plot kicks off with power couple Aditya Diwan (Sharman Joshi) and his wife Siya (Zareen Khan), who run a booming business empire. After the mysterious death of Aditya's brother in a plane crash, everything seems stable—until the suave and shady billionaire Saurav Singhania (Karan Singh Grover) enters the frame. He offers Aditya a business deal—with a disturbing twist: he wants to spend one night with Siya. How far does Siya go to uncover the truth? Enraged, Aditya rejects the deal, but Saurav retaliates by destroying Aditya's professional and personal life. Siya suspects a deeper vendetta and decides to get close to Saurav to uncover the truth. Following his condition, she spends a night with him—only to unearth a shocking past. Was it just bold, or was it a hit, too? Despite (or because of) its bold content, Hate Story 3 turned out to be a massive hit. Budget: Rs 20 crore India Collection: Rs 51.73 crore Worldwide Collection: Rs 75.10 crore The film earned nearly four times its budget, proving that controversy can indeed pay off. And yes, you can stream it now on JioCinema or Hotstar—if you're feeling brave enough.

Zareen Khan opens up about doing erotic thriller Hate Story 3 despite having ‘namazi grandparents' at home, being coerced into performing intimate scenes by Aksar 2 director
Actor Zareen Khan said that she struggled to break out of her industry-imposed image of a 'Katrina Kaif lookalike' following her debut film Veer, and that, after she did Hate Story 3, she began receiving more offers. But she was typecast as erotic characters, and was lied to by the director of Aksar 2. She said that the director, Anant Mahadevan, told her clearly that he didn't want to make another Hate Story type film, but on set, it was a different story. She said that she was coerced into performing intimate scenes, and wasn't given much say in the matter even though she had been kept in the dark. In an interview with Hindi Rush, she said that the atmosphere on Hate Story 3 was very warm, and that her co-stars were mindful about her comfort. She said that she took on the role as a challenge, and consulted her mother beforehand. 'I needed the job, and it wasn't like directors and producers were queueing up to work with me. I spoke to a few friends, who told me not to overthink. I spoke to my mother, and she gave me positive feedback. I gathered the courage and did the movie,' Zareen said. She said that while she comes from an 'open' family, her grandparents are 'namazis'. Also read – Zareen Khan recalls how comparisons to Katrina Kaif impacted her career negatively: 'I was given so many names, was called a failure' Opening up about her experience on Aksar 2, she said, 'I didn't want to get typecast. I did Hate Story, but I wasn't keen on doing more such films. I will never say anything negative about Hate Story because it was a job that I did, and it opened doors for me. When I went for a narration for Aksar, the director Anant Mahadevan told me clearly, 'We're not making a Hate Story'. I'll always remember these words for the rest of my life, because I was concerned if there were going to be any bold scenes in the film. But when the shoot started, every other scene there was some kiss happening.' She said that she didn't take the daily surprises too well, and raised her concerns with the director. But he blamed the decisions on the producers. In the end, Zareen felt that she became the villain in the producers' eyes because the director didn't defend her stance. I wasn't invited to the premiere of my own film, that's how bad things became. Negative articles circulated about me, saying that I was difficult to work with.' Zareen said that she was disillusioned by the experience, and didn't want to be a part of a toxic industry any more. Asked if her co-star stood up for her, she said that he was also not powerful enough to say anything. She also highlighted how different the same situation would've been for a male actor. 'They would be called a stud for doing these films, where I…'
