Zahid Ahmed takes on another challenging role in Ishq Zah-e-Naseeb. In the serial, Zahid Ahmed plays the role of a male named Sameer with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID).
The mental illness is a psychological condition where a patient experiences two or more personalities simultaneously, existing in the same person. Each personality is distinct (like in the movie Split). It is often accompanied by symptoms such as memory loss, depression etc.
Since Zahid is playing a character with split personalities, he will be joined by Yumna Zaidi as another persona.
Here’s what Zahid said regarding his new drama serial:
“I can’t reveal much about the story yet. All I can say is that every human needs love and deserves it but when society denies you of your basic rights, then you will become something to be feared.”

Apparently, Yumna Zaidi’s avatar is Sameera (like Roman and Minaj?)
