Chand Ke Paar Chalo is a daily soap starring Yami Gautam that aired on NDTV Imagine every Monday to Thursday at 10.30 pm.
Chand Ke Paar Chalo starts with Anisa, a happy-go-lucky, lower middle class Muslim girl living in Lucknow with her parents. Initially, the story depicts Anisa's life in college, where she struggles to make a place for herself among the rich and well-connected students. She falls in love with a handsome and aristocratic young man, but backs off when she learns about his love for another girl. Selflessly, Anisa helps him to win the heart of his lady love.
Then Anisa and her parents migrate to Mumbai. They go there primarily because Anisa’s father requires treatment and the big city will provide better facilities. Anisa wants to get a job. She feels that opportunities in Mumbai are far greater than in Lucknow, and she doesn’t want her ill and weak father to have to struggle to provide for them in Lucknow. For her, Lucknow does not hold any charm.
Anisa, after much struggle, procures a job in one of Mumbai’s biggest media houses — The Singhanias — who are the owners of a popular magazine: Desi Girls. She is hired by Arjun Singhania, the head honcho of this business empire, as his younger brother Rahul’s personal assistant.
Arjun is tired of Rahul’s philandering ways, which are likely to ruin a big merger he is planning with Rahul’s fiancée's family. Arjun is convinced that Anisa is exactly the kind of girl whom Rahul will never dream of flirting with. Rahul, on the other hand, is appalled that he is saddled with a girl like Anisa, who, for him, is a social embarrassment.
The story now is of Anisa trying to fit into this new world of glitz and glamour: a world where every girl is a size zero, where every man is flirtatious, where money talks and style defines one's worth. Anisa is thrown into a world where everyone looks down on her and treats her with disdain. It is the story of her struggle to make a place for herself and find happiness, love, and a unique identity.
The girl is effervescent, gregarious, funny and uninhibited. She is from a lower middle-class family. Not the sati-savitri types, she often speaks her mind. She firmly believes in living in the moment. Her spontaneity sometimes brings about clumsiness and disorganization. She is not interested in studying as she is dying to get married and have kids. She tries to drop out of university any chance she gets. However, her mother keeps sending her back to school.
The head honcho of this great business of magazines and newspapers, Arjun is heading this media empire since his father died less than half a year ago. He had to shoulder the weight of the whole business. He saw the empire totally go to the dogs when his father died; everyone tried to take advantage of his naiveté. He does not want to see himself, his family name or business again in that vulnerable spot and is therefore highly protective of his brother. So he has arranged his brother’s marriage with a girl from an extremely influential family. He thinks that money is the only steadfast thing in this cut throat business world; love has absolutely no space in his life.
