Acclaimed Pakistani actor Zara Tareen recently made an emotional appearance on Dunya News’ programme Mazaq Raat, where she candidly reflected on her painful experiences with love and relationships. Known for her versatility and strong on-screen presence, Zara shared that she had fallen in love twice, but both times it was one-sided — a reality that left her heartbroken.
“I fell in love twice. It was one-sided romance. I was dejected for not getting reciprocal response,” Zara revealed. “But in the second experience, which was also a bitter one, I blame myself. I kept asking why I gave love another chance.”
Her honesty struck a chord with many viewers, as she expressed the emotional turmoil of giving your heart to someone who doesn’t feel the same way. Zara admitted that the second heartbreak hit harder because she blamed herself for repeating the mistake.
The actor also spoke about her personal life, including her marriage to fellow actor Faran Tahir. The couple eventually parted ways, but what hurt Zara the most was how news of their separation leaked on social media before they had a chance to announce it themselves.
“It didn’t feel right seeing our personal matter all over the internet before we could say anything,” she said.
On Mazaq Raat, Zara didn’t just talk about heartbreak — she also shared her thoughts on the Pakistani showbiz industry and the importance of professionalism and work ethic. Known for her poise and emotional depth, she eloquently represented the inner strength many hold behind a public persona.
Despite personal struggles, Zara Tareen remains a respected figure in Pakistan’s entertainment landscape, continuously impressing audiences with her nuanced performances and dignified presence both on and off screen.
