Behind the Scenes of ‘Yaar Julahay’ – A Web Series Celebrating Subcontinental Stories

I’m thrilled to share my recent collaboration on Zee Theatre's Yaar Julahay, an extraordinary web series that brings iconic subcontinental stories to life. The series kicks off with the brilliant Mahira Khan, who opens with a captivating reading of Ahmad Nadeem Qasmi’s Guriya. It was truly an honor to be part of this incredible project as the costume designer.

Directed by the talented Sarmad Khoosat and Kanwal Khoosat, Yaar Julahay features a stunning collection of literary works, including Gulzar Sab’s Sunset Boulevard and Dus Paisay, read by Sarwat Gillani. Along with Samia Mumtaz, Faisal Qureshi, Sania Saeed, and Nimra Bucha, the series showcases powerful performances, each brought to life through carefully designed costumes that reflect the cultural richness and emotional depth of the stories.

For Mahira Khan's portrayal in Guriya, we crafted costumes that captured the essence of the character, aligning with the poignant themes of the story. Each design was chosen to visually enhance the narrative, helping to convey the emotional and cultural layers of the piece.

Being part of Yaar Julahay was an unforgettable experience, and I’m proud to have contributed to this meaningful project. The series beautifully combines literature with visual storytelling, and I’m excited for you to watch Yaar Julahay on Zee5 and experience these timeless stories.
