Is it true that Malini Kapoor a.k.a Zeenat from Zaara is the cousin of Reena Kapoor a.k.a Pari/Rani from WRWMK ??
It's about the predictable goings on within the great Indian soap family - this time the family happens to be a Muslim one. The story is of Zaara and her elder
sister Zeenat, who is condemned by her in-laws for being infertile. Zeenat's sasural decides that the only way to continue the family is to get her hubby ready for a second marriage. Zeenat zeroes in on Zaara for the sacrifice act.
Will Zaara manage to change her sister's misfortune by keeping intact her love track with Zeenat's brother-in-law Samar? That's the big question. Who all are in it? Abhay Vakil of the afternoon saga Paalkhi debuts on primetime television as the US-returned suave lover of Zaara - played by Samiksha. Malini Kapoor, whose cousin Reena Kapoor stars in Sahara One's other tearjerker Woh Rehne Waali Mehlon Ki, plays Zeenat.
Upside: A Muslim social after a long time, since Simone Singh's wow act in Heena. But going by the regressive plot line and predictable emotions, Zaara could have been set in any backdrop.
Downside: The done-to-death ancient plot of an issueless mother, who hails from a Muslim family and lives under the threat of a second wife and talaq.
The backdrop's potential has been limited to celebrating Id instead of Diwali and
aapas and ammis replacing the bahus and baas. Lead actress Samiksha's irritating nasal twang would make a canary out of the singer Salma Agha.
