Plot
Chand Ke Paar Chalo is set in a Muslim Hindu backdrop in Lucknow. The story initially, is about three individuals, Sana–Rehaan–Anisa. Sana–Rehaan are two estranged childhood friends. Rehaan is taken to London by his mom, due to Rehaan's dad's unexpected mysterious death, which causes Sana–Rehaan's separation during their childhood. While, Anisa, is a happy-go-lucky girl from a lower middle class Muslim family living in Lucknow with her parents, who are neighbors and good friends of Rehaan's family.
The story starts with Sana and Rehaan, with preparations in Rehaan's mansion by his grandmother to welcome him back India after several years. On the other hand, Sana lives with the memories of Rehaan in expectation that one day he will return. Over the years, Sana has fallen for Rehaan whereas Rehaan had forgotten her completely. When Rehaan returns to India, he reaches the same college of Sana–Anisa. Anisa, who always dreamt of getting married, falls head over heels for Rehaan. It is when Rehaan realizes that he had been always in love with Sana . Anisa backs off when she learns, Rehaan loves Sana and selflessly, helps Rehaan win Sana's heart.
Then Anisa and her parents migrate to Mumbai and there the story shifts to Arjun–Anisa–Rahul. Anisa's family reach Mumbai, primarily because Anisa's father requires treatment and the big city will provide better facilities. Anisa wants to get a job. She feels that opportunities in Mumbai are far greater than in Lucknow, and she doesn't want her ill and weak father to have to struggle to provide for them in Lucknow. For her, Lucknow does not hold any charm.
After much struggle, she procures a job in one of Mumbai's biggest media houses – The Singhanias – who are the owners of a popular magazine: Desi Girls. She is hired by Arjun Singhania, the head honcho of this business empire, as his younger brother Rahul's personal assistant.
Arjun is tired of Rahul's philandering ways, which are likely to ruin a big merger he is planning with Rahul's fiancée's family. Arjun is convinced that Anisa is exactly the kind of girl whom Rahul will never dream of flirting with. Rahul, on the other hand, is appalled that he is saddled with a girl like Anisa, who, for him, is a social embarrassment.
Anisa tries hard to fit into her new world of glitz and glamour: a world where every girl is a size zero, where every man is flirtatious, where money talks and style defines one's worth. Anisa is thrown into a world where everyone looks down on her and treats her with disdain. The story continues with Anisa's struggle to make a place for herself and find happiness, love, and a unique identity.
