The story of ‘Chand Tara’ is written by Saima Akram Chaudhry who has written Ramadan TV dramas like ‘Sonu Chanda,’ ‘Sonu Chanda 2,’ ‘Hum Tum’ and ‘Ishq Jalebi’. It stars real-life celebrity duo Ayeza Khan and Danish Taimur.
Saima Akram Chaudhry said, ‘My Ramadan dramas are family-oriented, featuring family members of all ages and encouraging a joint family system.
He said that he did Pakistan Television But having watched the dramas with her family, she makes sure that her dramas are enjoyable as well as educational for the family.
‘Joint family system has its advantages and disadvantages. The system is not bad but we should give space to people. Along with the main theme in ‘Chand Tara’, there are also small lessons in each episode.’
Saima Akram said that the light dramas aired during Ramadan are more popular than the rest of the year, viewers watch them regularly as they are aired every day.
“It’s easier to convey a message in a lighthearted way,” he explained.
Saima Akram Chaudhry revealed that she has changed some things in the narrative of ‘Chand Tara’ after criticism of her past projects.
He said that the male and female protagonists in the play are not related to each other and their love story does not start with fights.

“Our face is bright”
The list of Ramadhan special dramas also includes ‘Rukh-i Ma Roshan’, which revolves around a couple and stars Pakistani actors Muneeb Butt and Komal Mir.
Muneeb Butt said, ‘This drama is about a couple who keep fighting with each other. Their chemistry with each other is ridiculous. It is romantic, sweet and full of innocence.
It is a situational comedy that will run during Ramadan. Its content is amusing to the viewers as it is not the typical mother-in-law’s sorrow. Its content is very light which people usually like to watch during Ramadan. The audience will really love it.’
‘Rukh Ma Roshan’ involves some problems that both the protagonists solve together, which brings them closer to each other.
Apart from Muneeb Butt and Komal Mir, well-known actress Shamim Hilali and Zainab Qayyum are also playing important roles in the drama.
