Mehwish Hayat to play Kamala Khan’s great grandparent in Ms Marvel, report
Mehwish Hayat will be playing Kamala Khan’s great grandparent in Ms Marvel, suggest reports emerging on Tuesday.
She will be joining Fawad Khan to play the key role in the much-anticipated series.
Fawad Khan and Mehwish Hayat will be playing Hasan and Aisha, Kamala Khan’s great-grandparents, in a flashback scene, claim a recent report.
In the comics, Kamala Khan’s great grandparents only appear in four pages about the partition of India and Pakistan, so it’s likely this scene will be about that!
