Mumbai, Jan 9 (IANS): Actress Zarine Khan, who was more in news for being a Katrina Kaif-look alike than for her performance in her debut film "Veer", is happy that finally she is being recognised as 'Zarine'.

"Till now I was only being compared to XYZ and I was really struggling to make a mark for myself... probably I am on the right path to make my individuality, which gives me immense pleasure," said the 27-year-old, who earned praise for her item song "Character Dheela" in "Ready".

The actress had a dream debut opposite Salman Khan and is being tagged 'lucky baby' of Bollywood.

Though she is trying to find a firm foothold, Zarine says she has no idols.

"To be very honest, I have no idols because I never wanted to become an actress. I have become an actress by destiny. But yes, I do look up to a lot of people here. Everybody is a superstar, everybody is so big in their own way. So, I look up to everybody and learn from everybody," said Zarine who is also working in Tamil film "Karikalan".

She is looking forward to a happening 2012 as she has two big films - "Housefull 2" and "Partner 2" - lined up for release.
