In his appearance on Faysal Quraishi's podcast, Asad Siddiqui offered fans a glimpse into his journey to finding love with actress Zara Noor Abbas. Asad revealed that he first heard of Zara by way of her aunt, Bushra Ansari, years before they actually met. "When I did my first dramas, Azar Ki Ayegi Baraat and Dolly Ki Ayegi Baraat, Zara was mentioned in passing. I had never seen her or a picture of her, but Bushra Apa would mention her," he shared, with a fond look back at those early days.

There was no instant spark or sense of destiny back then; Zara was just a name in casual conversation. Life moved on, as Asad explained, "Six or seven years later we worked together again, and she mentioned Zara again." Only later, by pure coincidence, did Zara come into his life in person.

The chemistry began as friendship, Asad recounted, fuelled by shared friends like Sajal Ali, Yasir Hussain, and Asim Azhar. "Coincidentally, Zara was in town for work, and she was friends with Sajal. So, I went to meet up with them and we became friends," he said, describing how they spent time in a group. "Yasir, Asim and I were always together, and we would meet up with Zara and Sajal. Eventually, we got together. Those were good times."
