I always wanted to become a Doctor.

Pata nahi, kabhi dimaag kharab hua and I changed my decision.

Anyway, that's another issue.

Khair, jab mai choti thi, I always saw myself as Dr. Zoya Khan.

Any bells ringing yet?

I am talking about one of the most popular and evergreen shows to be telecast in the Indian Sub-Continent -

Dhoop Kinare

Don't know how many of you have heard about it or watched it. However, I absolutelllyyy loved it !

Set in the late 1980s/early1990s, Dhoop Kinare revolves around a Medical Intern (Marina Khan) and a senior Doctor (Rahat Kazmi).

The serial showcased a lovely relationship between the two and is one of the best romantic stories ever to have been brought on screen.

When I started watching it, I was too young to understand a lot of the heavy duty dialogues. Yet, the simplicity and the beauty with which all characters were portrayed, just grew on one...

During the past few years I have always kept going back to this serial and seen it in bits and pieces.

A lot of Pakistani shows from the 1990s have that evergreen quality and remain lovable till date.

To top it all, I idolised Marina Khan. I thought then, and still think that she is one of the most talented and beautiful actresses ever !

Her portrayal of Dr. Zoya is full of charm, humour, strength and a subtle rebellion which I always loved.

I think, on the Indian side, if this were to ever be re-made, then shayad sirf Kajol yeh role kar paaye...

Do watch this one, if you haven't had a chance to do so till now...
