Zee World introduces a brand new drama series Sands of Time, which airs this November on Zee World. The story of Jia and her battle to retain her honour after a tragedy starts on DStv channel 166 on 7 November at 22:00.

Sands of Time sees Jia struggle to get acceptance from her family and community after she is gang raped. Her story is one of sheer determination and bravery as she offers herself up to her rapists saving her unmarried sister in law Arushi from them. Saving Arushi may have been a noble act on Jia’s part and while her family appreciate her sacrifice, they are still unable to completely accept her back into the family. Jia is a quiet, accommodating daughter-in-law, intent on upholding her family’s honour.

Sands of Time traces Jia’s difficult but courageous battle against the stigma – to emerge strong and stand tall in the face of a damning society.
