Zareen Khan has been out of work and her fitness routine for almost a year, and many assumed that she had retired from the film industry. The actor clarifies that it is not the case, and that she just put everything on hold due to her mother’s illness, and that she is now eager to return to her job.

“My mother is doing better now. She’s not 100% fine, her health keeps fluctuating every now and then. But, I’m just happy whenever we have good days with her. These days are better because we’re not running to the hospital every now and then,” shares Khan, her mother, she says, has always come first.

The actress emphasises that she is not a “materialistic” person and that her mother always comes first. “Nothing of this matters to me if I wouldn’t have my mother. I don’t have anybody else apart from her in my life. When she is not in the best of health, nothing matters to me in my life. That is the reason everything took a back seat including my work and my fitness routine. Now that she is having better days, I’ve again started working and focusing on my fitness regime,” says Khan, who is now back at work and will soon be seen in the Tamil horror-thriller Nagabhairav, playing a double role with power-packed stunts.

In response to people’s speculations about her absence, the 35-year-old says she wasn’t in the mood to worry about such things.

“My focus was not here (work). Everything including social media came to a standstill because I didn’t have the time, mindset or the energy to open it and look at what’s happening around. I was so busy and so mentally drained after going to doctors, getting tests done, running to different hospitals trying to understand what can be done to make my mother feel better,”

Not only is Khan shooting, but she is also returning to her fitness regimen and following a normal routine.

“I’ve started with my workouts, and I’m learning a new dance form, too. Kathak is a very feminine form and somehow, being a tomboy all my life, I couldn’t learn it, so I’m doing that. Also, I’m reading a lot of stuff, doing my homework because we’re in a very different era of cinema and entertainment. We’re not in a guaranteed state of things. So, in that sense, I’m doing my homework and learning things every day,” she ends.
