Zaara, Kiela, and Lauryn have a night out in this EXCLUSIVE preview of the August 31 episode of grown-ish. It doesn’t take long for Zaara to run into one of her girlfriends. Just as their night is getting started, someone calls out to Zaara. It’s Kim, one of the girls Zaara is currently dating.
Zaara tells Kim that she was “not expecting to see” her tonight. Kim’s flirting game is strong. She tells Zaara that the party is a whole lot better now that Zaara is here. “I’m gonna go get a drink. Better be here when I get back,” Kim says.
Kiela and Lauryn watch with awe at how Zaara handles the situation. Zaara decides to impart some of her relationship wisdom to her friends. “Look, I think all you need to do is keep it real. If you’re open and honest about what you want, then nobody’s feelings get hurt. And honestly, right now I’m just really trying to have fun,” Zaara admits. Her philosophy is pretty solid.
Tara Raani is one of the new cast members of grown-ish season 5. The hit Freeform show got a revamp after Zoey’s graduation from Cal U.

Tara is openly queer like her character.
