Princess Zahra (Shani Atias) is a villainess from "Mac + Fallout + Jack," episode 3.11 of MacGyver (airdate January 4, 2019). She is a member of the royal Bahrani family and the niece of terrorist leader Naveed Bin Dajani.
As revealed by Matty Webber early in the episode, Bin Dajani had been transferring data detaling his network's illegal finances all over Western Europe, and regarding Zahra, she is also a terrorist conspirator, as she is a willing transporter of the data. The villainess carried the data in her diamond gem pendant, which she planned to turn over to a bank in Zurich. As part of her cover, Zahra stopped in Milan for a shopping spree, where Matty sent Riley Davis, Wilt Bozer, and Leanna Martin to obtain the data.
The trio originally posed as members of the hotel's concierge, but Bozer managed to talk his way into helping design Zahra's gown; a proper distraction for Riley to copy the data. Riley was nearly caught by Zahra's bodyguard, Ahmed, but she knocked him out while Leanna and Bozer distracted the princess. Zahra entered the dressing room looking for the diamond, with Riley returning it to her after the data was copied, under the pretense of having found it after the diamond was dropped by Ahmed. Zahra paid Bozer for the dress before the trio left, and regarding her fate, it can be assumed that the evil Zahra ended up arrested (off-screen) for her role as a terrorist.
