As per a video doing the rounds on social media, Zareen is seen showing the new collection of the clothing brand to the paparazzi present at the occasion. Much to her surprise, a paparazzo commented, “Try kar ke dikhaiye na” (Why don’t you try this outfit here?). A visibly miffed Zareen called out the remark immediately.
“Kya, tumhare saamne? Wo na ho raha (I should try this outfit in front of you? That’s not happening),” said Zareen. “Faltugiri ki baatein nahi karna mere sath (Don’t talk nonsense with me) because I’m not someone who’s going to take that sh*t, okay?,” she added, shutting down the paparazzi, who went overboard with their remark.

“Naturally, I couldn’t concentrate on anything else during that time,” she added. However, Zareen is hopeful of getting more work on streaming now. “Unfortunately, nothing much is happening on the big screen, but the web space is very interesting. There’s a lot of great content being made for OTT platforms, and I would love to be part of projects that allow me to showcase my potential rather than just presenting me as another pretty face,” she added.
