After Boom, which Katrina would love to 'beep' out from her resume, it was Salman Khan who stood by her side and held her hand while she climbed the ladder to stardom. Looks like, the Kat-look-alike Zarine is Mr Do-Gooder Khan's latest fancy.
Despite her debacle debut in Veer, Zarine is breathing free. Thanks to Salman, the actress not only has a role in Sajid Nadiadwala's Housefull 2, but also has a full-length item song in Ready, for which she was initially signed on for a blink-and-I'm-gone appearance.
The much talked about Character Dheela song initially meant for Jacqueline Fernandes with a small step-in by Zarine was turned into the latter's number by the leading man himself. Salman gave out strict orders to the unit saying that it should only be Zarine rubbing shoulders with him.
Attributing Jacqueline's sudden disappearance from the song to 'date issues', a source from the film revealed, "Salman ne kaha ki Zarine ko lena hai. And who can argue with Salman? So, Zarine it was."
The source also went on to add, "It is known that Salman has a soft corner for Zarine. Add this to his helpful nature and you get the complete picture. In other words, Salman ne kisike sar pe haath rakh diya, toh woh uske liye kuch bhi karega."
It maybe recalled that Salman had no inhibitions entering Aamir Khan's house with Zarine in tow. At the party thrown for Academy Award-winning Argentinian music composer Gustavo Santaolalla, who was working on Kiran Rao's directorial debut Dhobi Ghat, he and Zarine had walked in together at 12.28 am (Mumbai Mirror, June 21, 2010).
When asked about the real reason of her not being in Ready, Jacqueline chose not to reply. Director of Ready, Anees Bazmee too remained unavailable for comment.
