In 2003, Zuhura worked with Mohamed Shareef and Muawiyath Anwar for their television series,
Ujaalaa Raasthaa, which narrates the journey of two best friends in three generations. The series developed as an attempt to aware the audience on several social issues, was widely accepted by the audience and received positive reviews from critics. Initially, Zuhura was supposed to make her official film debut with
Abdul Faththaah-directed romantic film,
Viremun Midhaa Hiyy Magey opposite
Ibrahim Jihad, which however was delayed in post-production and was ultimately shelved. The film, heavily relied on the
effect of the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake on the Maldives, received favorable reviews from critics though it failed to perform financially. The first episode of the series was met with lukewarm response from the audience due to the different "visualization style" of the director and the scene arrangement by screenwriter.

Hukuru Vileyrey (2006), co-directed by
Aishath Rishmy and
Aminath Rasheedha which was based on a novel published by Ibrahim Waheed on
Haveeru Daily in 2003. The film being a critical and commercial success was considered as "one of the best horror film the Maldivian Film Industry has ever produced". She next worked with Faththaah for his romantic drama series,
Kuramey Vadhaaee Salaam which follows the journey of a man from a wealthy family, getting backed off from them due to his love interest and the depression he goes through due to his wife's untimely death. She next collaborated with
Arifa Ibrahim for her romantic television drama series,
Vaguthu Faaithu Nuvanees (2006) which consists of fifty episodes. The series which follows the vengeance and retribution two best-friends go through when they both love the same person, features her in the role of Shazma, a religious and acquiescent woman who is mistreated by her brother and sister-in-law.
