Zindagi brings two new shows –Noorpur Ki Rani and Maat
MUMBAI: Zindagi, which launched with shows from Pakistan in the first phase, will treat audiences to new shows every month. The channel is merely three weeks old and is already gearing up to launch two new shows as its hugely acclaimed shows Aunn Zara came to an end yesterday and Zindagi Gulzar will end on 18th July. And, keeping its promise to offer fresh programming every month, Zindagi has two new show launches this month – Maat& Noorpur Ki Rani – in place of both the shows.
On 13th July at 8:55 PM, Noorpur Ki Rani, replaced the refreshing rom-com Aunn Zara and is a story of paradoxes brought out by contrasting characters of Noorie and Princess Rania. Orphaned at a young age, Noorie comes from an impoverished background and goes through turbulent times before her life takes a magical turn and she finds a new life in the palace. On the other hand, Princess Rania, the owner of the palace, is brought by fate to circumstances she never imagined possible. The gorgeous Sanam Baloch will enact the character of Noorie and it also stars the veteran actor, Naumaan Ijaz in a central role.
Maat, which will replace the mature love story Zindagi Gulzar Hai will air at 8:00 PM slot starting July 19th, is the story of two sisters, Aiman and Saman who are poles apart. Aiman is generous and Saman is the mean sister who always tries to snatch whatever her sister has. The story takes a turn when Saman claims her right on something that is very dear to Aiman giving rise to very interesting twists and turns. With viewers raving about the natural talent and irresistible good looks of Fawad Khan, Sanam Saeed, Osman Khalid Butt and Maya Ali, the new show, Maat will bring to Indian Television, two of Pakistan’s most talented actresses– the beautiful Aminah Sheikh and the vivacious Sabah Qamar.
Tune into to Zindagi every day, Monday to Sunday 8:00 PM onwards!
