During a recent appearance on the talk show Mazaq Raat on Dunya News, renowned Pakistani actress Zara Tareen opened up about personal experiences that left her emotionally scarred. The actress bravely shared her struggles with unrequited love—revealing not one, but two painful episodes of one-sided romance.
“I fell in love twice,” Tareen admitted during the show. “Both times, it was one-sided. The first time, I was devastated. But the second time, I blame myself. I kept wondering, ‘Why did I allow myself to fall in love again?’”
Her reflections painted a deeply human portrait—one that resonated with many viewers who have experienced the sting of emotional rejection. The Mazaq Raat audience responded with empathy as she explained how such heartbreak shaped her perspective, not only on relationships but on self-worth.
Known for her commanding screen presence and strong roles, Zara Tareen is considered one of the most versatile talents in Pakistan’s entertainment industry. Yet, behind the poised exterior is someone who, like many, has grappled with pain and introspection.
In the same interview, Zara also briefly touched on her split from actor Faran Tahir, confirming that the couple parted ways. What added to the emotional weight was how the news became public before the couple had the chance to announce it themselves.
She expressed disappointment over how their personal matter was handled in the media, indicating that public scrutiny only made the situation harder.
Tareen also used the platform to discuss work ethic and the dynamics of Pakistan’s showbiz industry—highlighting the need for compassion, privacy, and emotional intelligence in an often demanding environment.
