Fans are praising the appearance of Pakistani actor Fawad Khan in the Marvel Cinematic Universe Ms.Marvel. The actor appeared in the fifth episode of the series.
Fans had been desperately waiting to see Fawad Khan appear in the series. The fifth episode introduces Fawad Khan as Hasan- the great-grandfather of Kamala Khan (Iman Vellani) in the series.

A fan wrote, “Look at the charm he brings to the screen. Fawad Khan in Ms. Marvel y’all.”

“Fawad khan in MCU is a day I never thought I’d see but I loved every second of it. #MsMarvel,” said another Fawad Khan fan on Twitter.

Twitter user was of the view that the dialogues from Ms. Marvel depict the narrative of Indian nationalists, who believe that Pakistan is a creation of British imperialism and that Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah is to be blamed for the division of the sub-continent as he spread the communal virus.
