It was broadcast in India by Zindagi under the title Tere Ishq Mein, premiering on 13 October 2014.
Zainab (Resham) is a beautiful girl who is deeply in love with her cousin Sheraz (Faisal Qureshi) and is also committed to him. But Sheraz witnesses certain events which he misinterprets and hence, believes Zainab to be involved in affairs with other men. Thus, he decides to break the engagement only to be told the truth and pacified and finds a place for himself in the good books of his senior at office. And it is here where Sheraz makes new acquaintances and friends who misguide him by suggesting him to marry a daughter from a wealthy family, in order to ensure luxury, comfort and wealth for himself. And thus, lured by these thoughts Sheraz feels the need to break up his engagement with Zainab. At the same time Sheraz also senses that his senior is thinking of getting him married with her daughter (Razia) and thus, Sheraz starts devising a plan to get rid of Zainab and also succeeds in creating a bad image of Zainab in the eyes of his parents. Soon later, Sheraz's senior visits his home and proposes him to marry his daughter and Sheraz and his parents readily agree to the proposal, leading his engagement with Zainab to be broken up, which deeply disturbs Zainab. Sheraz also spreads rumours and false stories about Zainab in the neighbourhood and she becomes infamous overnight in her entire locality. And determined, to take revenge, Zainab begins her life afresh.
She leaves home and despite opposition from her family begins working as a model and later as an actress under the nom de plume Parizaad. Parizaad becomes widely popular among the masses but still Zainab remains to be viewed negatively by her family and the society.
Much later, Zainab gets an offer for a film, to be produced by a man named, Karam (Noman Ijaz), due to which she is called to Sydney in Australia for a meeting with him. Excited about the project, which appears promising to Zainab, she leaves soon for Australia. At the same time, on the other hand, Sheraz is living an unhappy life with his wife and he couldn't even break up the marriage as he owes a lot of money to his father-in-law which he would have to repay in case of a divorce. In Australia, Zainab, upon meeting and spending time with Karam, begins to develop feelings of affinity for him and also gets to know that he is a huge fan and adorer of her. She finds him to be one of a kind and loves him more because neither does he take advantage of her nor he is bothered about the rumours regarding Parizaad spread in the entire industry. But as the project gets cancelled Zainab returns to Pakistan.
