Aunn Zara (Urdu: عون زارا) is a Pakistan drama series telecast on A-Plus Entertainment. It revolves around a married couple spoilt by their respective families and desperate to escape this attention. It is based on Faiza Iftikhar's novel, Hisaar-e-Mohabbat (Fort of Love) and is directed by Haissam Hussain.[1] It stars Maya Ali and Osman Khalid Butt.[2][3]
The story revolves around the lives of Aunn and Zara. Aunn, being the only male in his family, is overtly pampered by everyone. Aunn is dying to break out of the shackles of his overprotective and overbearing family members. Zara is a headstrong and vivacious girl. In contrast to Aunn, she lives in a house where she is the only female member of her immediate family. Zara lives with her father and grandfather. Her father, Jamshed, a retired army officer, wants Zara to join the air force. However, Zara wants to have a family life.[4]
Aunn and Zara's first encounter upsets them. A misunderstanding lands Aunn's proposal in front of Zara's family. Unaware of the proposal, Zara lies to her father that she loves Aunn.
When Aunn and Zara discover who they are marrying, they resist but eventually get married. The duo spend time together and eventually fall in love. Aunn realizes that his family is overbearing, and he cannot spend time with Zara. He creates misunderstandings between Zara and his family. Soon a rift gets created between Zara and Aunn's family, resulting in Aunn and Zara shifting to another house. Zara learns that she is pregnant.
Zara's friend, Shehna, clears the misunderstanding between Nighat and Zara. Meanwhile, Aunn informs his family about Zara's pregnancy. Aunn's family gets excited, but they fear that Zara might want to keep them away from the baby. Nighat informs the family about Aunn's past actions leading to the strained relationship with Zara. Aunn also confesses his mistakes. Zara eventually reconciles with Aunn's family.
