Humsafars (English: Soulmates or Companion) is an Indian television drama show which premiered on 22 September 2014 that aired on Sony Entertainment Television (India) on Monday to Friday evenings. The show was directed and produced by Gul Khan under the production of 4 Lions Films, and stars Harshad Chopra and Shivya Pathania as the lead roles. The show chronicles the love story of Arzoo, who values truthful relationships, and Sahir, who is caught between his affection for Arzoo and nostalgia for his comatose wife.
Arzoo is shown to be a hardworking and virtuous woman, who lives with her mother Nausheen, and sisters Zara and Myra. She dreams of becoming a successful fashion designer. When her family's factory burns down, their only source of income, Arzoo decides to leave for Mumbai. She finds work at the prestigious fashion house Saiyaara. Arzoo accidentally disrupts an ongoing fashion show, and when confronted by a man named Sahir, she throws her cellphone at him in anger, after which she learns that he is the CEO and her boss. She further discovers that he is also Alvira's (her mother's friend, whose house she is staying at) eldest son. While Arzoo stays at the Chaudhary house, Sahir's younger sister-in-law Anam and their close relative Kurti Aapa dislike and consistently taunt her. Anam steals Arzoo's designs and presents them to Sahir to acquire the position of chief designer. Arzoo ultimately proves that she is the one who rightfully deserves the position. Although Sahir, a pristine and seemingly cold person, is annoyed by Arzoo, he appreciates her effort and talent. He gradually begins to feel attracted to her, but reprimands and controls himself from getting close to her. It is soon revealed that he has a wife named Zeenat, who is in a comatose state due to a car accident that happened seven years ago. Sahir is determined to fulfill his promise to her of becoming a very successful businessman.
A love triangle forms as Arzoo also falls for Sahir, but is too scared to express her feelings, and Alvira's younger son Zaki falls for Arzoo. After Kurti Aapa poisons his mind, Sahir believes that Arzoo desires to acquire only his wealth and is a gold-digger. He challenges Zaki that he will get Arzoo to express her love to him as a way of showing Zaki that she wants wealth. Sahir pampers and romances Arzoo, and tells her he is in love with her, after which she too hesitantly confesses her feelings. He asks her to marry him and after she agrees, breaks her heart by revealing that he is already married and that his love was just a lie. Sahir immediately learns that he actually does love Arzoo, and hates himself for hurting her. She is shocked by his revelation and vows to hate him. Zaki, still bent on marrying Arzoo, confesses his love to her. Arzoo tentatively accepts his proposal in order to defy Sahir, who interrupts their marriage and blackmails Arzoo to marry him instead. She agrees, and Zaki is left heartbroken. Meanwhile, Zeenat shows signs of recovering from coma and is brought into the house. Arzoo is disturbed when Zeenat grabs her hand and smiles at her, but everyone dismisses her because it seems impossible for any activity to occur while she in a coma. Arzoo believes that Zeenat is out of the coma. In between all this, in order to save Arzoo from a shooter, he takes a bullet. Sahir is taken to the hospital and recovers. When he arrives home, someone puts poison in his IV drip, but Arzoo saves him. When Sahir comes to know this, he asks her why she risked her life in order to save him. She says he also saved her from the bullet.
