more so because it’s a true story, that there was a big responsibility on my
shoulders to do it justice. I hope I have been able to stay true to the deep,
rich, compelling characters and all the turmoil they have gone through. This
experience has been unforgettable, it has changed us all. I am very excited for
people to watch the series, I think it’s very relevant and important for the
times we live in. I’m sure with ZEE5’s massive reach the show will penetrate
across borders.”
Sharing his perspective Mohit Raina said – “Kaafir is a
compelling story and it is important for it to reach the larger spectrum of
audiences. The story has been shown from the perspective of my character,
Vedant and each element of the film has been beautifully tied together. The
show marks my digital debut and I could not have asked for a better platform
than ZEE5. We have tirelessly worked on this and I hope it makes the audiences
stop and ponder.”

the role of Kainaaz took an emotional toll on me and I cannot even imagine how
the woman on which the story is based must have braved these incidents in her
life. I hope every Kainaaz finds her Vedant. I am happy that ZEE5 backed this
project and it will now have a chance to travel beyond borders and touch
hearts.”
