ZAREEN: I DID NOT BOTHER ABOUT WORK WHEN MY MUM WAS UNWELL
Actor Zareen Khan, however, admits that work getting stuck was a big worry
While the pandemic turned life upside down for most of us, for actor Zareen Khan, it was all the more difficult as her mother wasn’t keeping well for the last three months. And, the 34-year-old admits that she couldn’t focus on work.
“It has been a while, her health hasn’t been up to the mark. She is still not 100% stable, so most of my focus is on her and getting her health back to normal,” the actor shares.
Calling her mother her “world”, Khan adds that while work was a worry at the back of her mind since a lot of it got stuck amid the pandemic, her mother remained her priority.
“If anything goes wrong with my mum, I can’t function. I’m a very strong willed, headstrong person and all that, but when it comes to her, she’s my strength and also my weakness. I could not concentrate on anything else and was disconnected from my work. I didn’t pay attention to anything that was happening workwise,” she confesses.
It was only Khan and her sister, who had to take care of everything alone, since they don’t have a big family. The actor had also taken to Instagram to request her fans to pray for her mother.
“She needed all our attention, we didn’t have a family who could manage things in the absence of other people. I was in the hospital all the time, while my sister took care of the house. It was difficult, but we managed it,”

Currently at home as her work projects are yet to start, Khan feels fortunate that just before the second lockdown was imposed, she managed to complete a web film, which is now in post production.
“There are a couple of projects I’ve discussed, there is no clarity when they’ll start. Two-three of my projects were supposed to be shot in London, but now, there’s a lot of uncertainty. The other things I’m working on right now, I can’t speak about them openly, as nothing is confirmed. I’ll be starting something on my own and once it’s concrete, I’ll be good to speak about it,” Khan concludes.
