A regular Urdu shayari-loving woman from India is sent on a dangerous mission to Pakistan. But what happens when she ends up falling in love with the very man she has to spy on? That pretty much summarises the plot of ZEE5’s latest original Lahore Confidential.
Ananya (Richa Chadha) is an everyday woman who loves Urdu poetry and has a desk job at the R&AW headquarters in New Delhi. Her life takes a drastic turn when a senior R&AW officer RD (Khalid Siddiqui) dispatches her to Pakistan on a spying mission. There’s a reason why she’s the chosen one. She has to entrap Lahore’s renowned cultural event organiser Rauf Khazmi (Arunoday Singh) and through him help Indian Intelligence get to terror mastermind Wasim Ahmed Khan.
Helping Ananya in Lahore is another colleague named Yukti (Karishma Tanna), who’s also an agent. Unlike Ananya, Yukti is well-versed with the life of a secret agent and will do anything to extract key information, even if it means hooking up with her informer.
