Zareen Khan Biography

Zareen Khan is an Indian actress who began her film career with the 2010 Bollywood epic Veer and has worked in both Hindi and Punjabi cinema. Born and bred

Early life and background

Zareen Khan was born on 14 May 1987 in Mumbai, Maharashtra. Raised in a conservative Muslim family with ancestral roots in Afghanistan, she grew up in Mumbai and attended Duruelo Convent High School before enrolling at Rizvi College of Science. Financial constraints led her to leave college before completing a degree.

As a child and teenager she struggled with her weight, at one point reaching around 100 kg. Over time she made significant lifestyle changes and lost roughly 40 kg, an effort she credits to disciplined gym work rather than quick fixes. She speaks multiple languages, including Hindi, Urdu, English, Marathi and Pashto.

Career

Zareen Khan was noticed while visiting the set of Yuvraaj and soon after entered the film industry. She made her Bollywood debut in the 2010 period action film Veer, in which she played a princess and reportedly gained weight for the role. Her work has spanned both Hindi and Punjabi cinema: she received the Best Female Debut Award at the PTC Punjabi Film Awards for Jatt James Bond (2014), marking a recognized early success in regional film.

Throughout her career she has been associated with mainstream cinema projects and has worked with prominent industry names. Reports indicate she has commanded fees in the film industry, and she has turned down endorsements she felt conflicted with her personal beliefs—once declining an offer from a weight-loss product company because she did not want to promote shortcuts to weight loss.

Public profile

Physically, Zareen Khan is approximately 170 cm (5'7") tall and has a listed figure measurement of about 36-28-34. Her eye and hair color are described as black. She is unmarried and has been publicly linked with businessman and model Shivashish Mishra from 2021 onward. Fans know her by the nickname "Little Dimple Girl."

Personal interests and preferences commonly associated with her include a love of reading and a taste for chocolates. She lists Salman Khan among her favourite actors and cites films such as Jab We Met, Titanic and Avatar among favourites. Her preferred travel destinations include Dubai, Thailand and the Maldives. Her car collection is reported to include an Audi Q7.

Family and recent personal events

Zareen’s mother, Parveen Khan, passed away on 8 April 2026 after a prolonged illness; her funeral took place the same day at the Versova Muslim Kabrastan in Andheri West, Mumbai. She has a younger sister named Sana Khan. Other immediate family details in the public record are limited.

Controversies and legal matters

Several disputes and incidents involving Zareen have been reported. In 2017 she publicly criticized the makers of a film project, saying the tone of the work had changed after she signed on. In December 2018 she filed a complaint against a former manager over alleged threatening behaviour related to money disputes. In the same month she was involved in a road accident in Goa in which a motorcyclist died after a collision with a car she was travelling in; reports stated her driver was driving at the time.

Also in 2018, an organiser filed a complaint alleging she had failed to appear at an event in Kolkata; Zareen said she had been misled about the scale and arrangements for the engagement and that there had been communication issues between her team and the organisers. In September 2023 an arrest warrant was reportedly issued after she did not appear before a court in connection with that matter; her manager later appeared and sought bail.

Latest updates

As of 2026 she remains active in the public eye. Her mother’s death in April 2026 is the most recently reported major personal event.
