Be it her weight or her acting skills, Zarine often received brickbats from people.
Asked her how she dealt with criticism post her debut film "Veer", she told IANS: "I think criticism is part of your life. I have gone through criticism all my life. I was an obese child and was criticized a lot for that. I don't like to take criticism to my mind. I only work on it."
Talking about the success of "Hate Story 3", she said: "Yes, I was skeptical doing this film, but now I feel so great that I did it. People are appreciating this film because it is not just about bold scenes. The content of the film is also equally strong."
Directed by Vishal Pandya, "Hate Story 3" also features Sharman Joshi, Karan Singh Grover and Daisy Shah.
