We finally got to see Fawad Khan and Mehwish Hayat essaying Kamala Khan’s grandparents in Disney’s popular web series Ms. Marvel. The amazing chemistry of these stars had us gushing over their phenomenal acting that even Canadian critics couldn’t hold back their praises.
Sana Amanat is the author behind the comic series. She has co-written the web series alongside Bisha K. Ali. Apart from Canadian-Pakistani actor Iman Vellani, the web series cast Rishi Shah, Matt Lintz, Anjali Bhimani, Zenobia Shroff, Yasmeen Fletcher, Laurel Marsden, Mohan Kapoor, and others. Two-time Oscar and three-time Emmy Award-winning director Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy along with Meera Menon, Adil Al Arbi, and Bilal Fallah are co-directing the project.
Ms. Marvel continues to win over the desi crowd with its heartfelt representation of our culture. The show about a Pakistani-American superhero is making waves all over social media. Pakistani artists such as Eva B and Hasan Raheem’s songs are part of the soundtrack. Not only are Pakistanis over the moon seeing the likes of Mehwish Hayat, Fawad Khan, and Samina Ahmed in the MCU!
The Pakistani superstar Fawad Khan and Mehwish Hayat as Hasan and Aisha totally owned the recent episodes with their chemistry. Canadian critic and YouTuber John Campea recently declared them as the best on-screen pair he has ever seen. He quoted in a report,
“This may be the best-looking (comeback or comedy) movie pair. Fawad Khan is attractive and handsome, while Mehwish Hayat is stunning and smiles charmingly. I’ve never seen a better-looking couple.”

Even the protagonist Iman Vellani shared in her interview
“I grew up watching them and then I was like working with them, they’re so nice. And just the fact that we are bringing together you know India and Pakistan just through the music and through our actors. We have scenes where there’s a Pakistani and [an] Indian, a British person, a Canadian person, American all on one screen, that’s so wonderful and that’s what our show is about.”
