The story of the show is about an upper
middle-class Muslim family. The protagonist
of the show Zaara (played by Samiksha Jug)
is a young, sweet-natured girl who has returned
to her hometown after finishing her studies
abroad. While her childhood sweetheart Samar
(played by Abhay Vakil) stays abroad, Zaara
has a tough option to face in terms of granting
a wish to her beloved sister Zeenat. "My
character is of a simple family girl, who
is ready to sacrifice her happiness for
the sake of others." says the pretty
actor.
The show tries to cash on this intriguing
wish of Zeenat which might shatter the life
of Zaara. Adds the creative supervisor
of the show Imran Mir "We have tried
to portray a realistic story that is contemporary
at the same time. The plot is not another
run-of-the mill love triangle. I am pretty
hopeful that it will be liked by the audience."

Sanjay Kohli the producer of show is quite
upbeat about the launch of Zaara.
According to the producer "It is after
a long time that a story is set against
a Muslim backdrop. It is a story that is
not limited to a particular section of the
audience. My belief is that it is an emotional
showcase of our experiences of love and
sacrifice."
Shantonu Aditya, CEO, SaharaOne agrees
that the new shows that are being launched
would take the channel to newer heights.
He adds that "With the launch of Zaara
we have not only revamped the primetime
band but have also expanded the viewing
time."
SaharaOne is unleashing a whole lot of
new programming to strengthen its position
in the competition. Hope with the launch
of these new shows the channel is able to
generate more viewership.
