About the Show

In Season 2 of ZARQA (6x10, FUNdamentalist Films), instead of choosing between her ex, her imam, and her white brain surgeon boyfriend, Zarqa has set her sights on a bigger goal - total world domination. Content to let the romantic rivals burble along in a state of uncertainty, Zarqa has pinned all of her hopes on her new product, Love Masala, an intoxicating new scent and love potion. 

She has her eye on global brand ambassador Pious Pinky Pervez, a Muslim social media influencer with millions of followers. Zarqa needs a coveted endorsement for Love Masala from the sweet, good-natured woman with the massive crossover audience as one of Pinkys Prestige Picks.

When Pinky refuses to endorse Love Masala, Zarqa gets to work and her sleuthing reveals that Pious Pinky is not the person shes built her brand on. Zarqa blackmails Pinky and voila, suddenly Zarqa is a Pinkys Pick, and Love Masala is a global hit.
