HUM TV’s upcoming drama ‘Goonj’ will be navigating workplace harassment

WEB DESK: HUM TV is set to premiere Goonj, a drama that shines a spotlight on workplace harassment and a woman’s fight for dignity, starting Monday, 21st July at 8:00 PM.

With an ensemble cast including Komal Meer, Mirza Gohar Rasheed, Feroz Kadri, and Hira Tareen, Goonj tells the story of Zarnab, who is a self-made, principled woman whose professional success triggers a vicious backlash from a male colleague unable to accept her rise.

Zarnab, portrayed by Komal Meer, is a resilient young woman raised by her father to value education and integrity. She is shown to overcome life’s challenges to become a confident professional, earning respect through hard work. However, her promotion unsettles Nabeel (played by Mirza Gohar Rasheed), a misogynistic colleague who retaliates with harassment and slander. He is shown partaking in discussions as to how it is easier to excel at workplace is one is a woman.

Faced with injustice, Zarnab refuses to stay silent. Goonj follows her journey as she challenges systemic oppression, transforming her personal struggle into a rallying cry for countless women who endure similar battles.

With workplace harassment remaining a pervasive issue in Pakistan, Goonj arrives as a poignant commentary on gender dynamics and institutional biases. The drama’s title, meaning “echo”, symbolises the ripple effect of one woman’s courage.

Producers describe it as “a tribute to every woman who dares to speak up,” positioning the show as both entertainment and a call for societal reflection.

Will Zarnab’s stand inspire change, or will the system push back? Viewers can tune in to HUM TV starting next week to witness this compelling narrative unfold.

Written by Qurb E Abbas and directed by Wajahat Rauf, the drama is a joint production by Showcase Productions and MD Productions.
