Zarine Khan - Women of Bollywood

Zarine Khan was born on May 25th, 1984, in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
In some shots, this Indian actress and model looks so much like Katrina Kaif, you'd think they were separated at birth.
(Although now Zarine seems to have added a few pounds which makes it easy to tell them apart)

Oddly enough, the man that discovered her, Salman Khan, is Katrina's boyfriend.
This of course stirred up a LOT of Bollywood gossip.
Her debut film was Veer in 2010, a film that unfortunately didn’t do very well, even though she did get nominated for the Zee Cine Awards. Best Female Debut.
She went on to appear in Ready (2011), Housefull 2 (2012) and in 2013 will be appearing in Naan Rajavaga Pogiren, Karikalan and Partner 2.
