Pakistani actor Fawad Khan has finally marked his MCU debut with Ms Marvel episode 5. The Humsafar actor is the third Asian actor to star in the series after Bollywood star Farhan Akhtar and of course the lead, Iman Vellani.
Ever since the first episode of Ms Marvel premiered on our TV screens, it has become one of the most-talked-about Marvel shows, especially for featuring the first South Asian female superhero with Iman Vellani’s Kamala Khan. Where the show is being hailed for its casting, the penultimate episode are also introducing new character like Fawad Khan.
And as soon as tweeple spotted Fawad in Ms Marvel episode 5, they set internet on fire. While some said that he had more screen space than Farhan Akhtar, some believes he still hasn’t aged after Zindagi Gulzar Hai. Rest of the reactions are given below:
While we saw Bollywood actor Farhan Akhtar playing Waleed in the last episode, the latest episode introduced Fawad Khan as a character from the partition era of India. The name of his character is Hasan, who is introduced as Kamala’s great-grandfather.
The pre-Independence era in Ms Marvel, shows Hasan, a freedom fighter meets Aisha (Mehwish Hayat). However, after they have a family, they are forced to consider moving to Pakistan, along with their daughter Sana. The intriguing episode also showcases how Hasan (Fawad Khan) managed to get on the last train to Pakistan only with his daughter Sana.
However, the Pakistani actor had a short role in the series, but still fans are going gaga over it. MCU introducing him in the latest episode will surely help Fawad in expanding his fan following.
The actor gained a huge fan base in India after his Pakistani limited series Zindagi Gulzar hai and Humsafar was broadcasted on ‘Zindagi’ channel introduced in India to strength the India-Pakistan relationship in 2017.
