Since its debut on Disney+, Ms. Marvel, the newest offering from Marvel, has become a huge hit. While the show has received praise for its fairly accurate portrayal of comics, many viewers were especially thrilled with the diverse cast.
Numerous South Asian actors are making their Marvel debuts with the show, including Farhan Akhtar from Bollywood and Fawad Khan from Pakistan.
Fans are eagerly anticipating the appearance of Fawad even though several Pakistani celebrities, including Nimra Bucha, Samina Ahmed, and Mehwish Hayat, have already made their first appearances in the show. The Humsafar actor makes his television debut as Hassan, Kamala Khan’s great-grandfather, in the fourth episode of the series.
However, did you know? Has Iman Vellani’s (Kamala Khan) mother joined the ranks of Fawad’s admirers? Iman previously discussed the joy her mother experienced upon learning that Fawad would also be appearing in Ms. Marvel. Iman said, “I grew up watching them [the actors] and then I was working with them,” when asked about working with a cast full of A-list celebrities. Added she, “My mother was more excited about Fawad than she was about me being on our show. I believe that sums it up.”
