Written by the duo – Farjad Nabi and Meenu Gaur, ‘Qatil Haseenaon Ke Naam’ is set in a neighbourhood rife with secrets and gives a glimpse of what happens when women decide to take charge of their destiny and not kneel before situations and society.
For Meenu Gaur, it was exciting to create a show which delivers on suspense, mystery, and entertainment while leaving the indelible stamp of a woman’s point of view all over it.
“Giving film noir a South-Asian/desi and the feminist twist was definitely on my filmmaking bucket list. With this show, the femme fatale shake off several decades of the male gaze and play on their terms,” she said.

Sarwat Gilani, who plays Mehak in the show, said, “This series showcases the essence of life through different people and characters. The series is empowering, and it highlights the issues women face in a very honest way instead of sugar-coating them. Qatil Haseenaon Ke Naam is an important show for everyone as it portrays the consequences of trying to exploit and undermine women.”
Sanam Saeed, who plays Zuvi, added, “I am extremely happy to collaborate with Zindagi in this very different and mazedaar role compared to what I have done in the past. Qatil Haseenaon Ke Naam is a show full of courage, sassiness and power. It was a delight to work on this show which tells the stories of strong and fearless women who go to any extent to get what they desire.”
