and what does the show have to do with Islam?

Pujaran is also a regular noun in hindi that can be used metaphorically. It isn't uncommon to say something like, "she is such a worshipper of wealth" using the word "pujaran". The word may have, in antiquity, originated from a term related to a specific religion but the word has long been set free of that religious association and absorbed by modern Hindi, which is a language used by many different people of many different religious and cultural traditions. It isn't just a language of the Hindus. And similarly, there are several hindus for whom it is a second or third language. The "real" language of Hindu scriptures is sanskrit much like Latin is the language in which Christian scriptures were originally written. Just like many formerly religious words have been absorbed into the language Hindi, many ecclesiastical terms like priest or Bible or church have also found their way into regular English. For example, it isn't uncommon or blasphemous or disrespectful to use expressions like "the gym is my church" or "Agatha Christie's books are my bible" in English.

Puja and idol worship is not a valid concept in islam. And characters of this show are not hindu based either so wondering why the show is named Pujaran? Puja in hindi refers to worship usually performed by hindus.

i guess they found this to be the most appropriate word for worship...since the urdu word for worship is ibadat but that word is exclusively for God only
