You know we've all been waiting for this moment! Fawad Khan is well and truly in Marvel Cinematic Universe and truth be told, we are over the moon! The fifth episode of Ms. Marvel was released recently and fans finally got to see Fawad as Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, great grandfather, Hassan.

What's even more exciting is that he shares ample screen time with Mehwish Hayat who plays his wife, Aisha in the popular Marvel show. The latest episode of Ms. Marvel picks up from the cliffhanger of the fourth episode of the show when Kamala Khan was teleported to the partition of India in 1947.

In the said episode, we get to see the backstory of Hassan and Aisha as well. The two had a meet-cute and then ended up falling in love and getting married. The duo then welcomes a baby girl - Kamala Khan's Nani, Sana.

The episode perfectly encapsulates the heartbreak and grief of Muslims during and prior to the Indo-Pak partition. Fawad as Hassan is charismatic as well as convincing. Many took to social media and lauded the actor on his Hollywood debut - that too, in a Marvel project. Fawad has starred in a project after six years and according to the fans, it was worth the wait!

One user pointed out a similarity! "The last time Fawad Khan played a Hassan, it shattered us all. Once again, a Hassan based in the 1940s but this time in Ms. Marvel," she wrote.

One more tweep remarked, "Fawad Khan in and as Hassan from Ms. Marvel. He is playing a short extended cameo in it. this guy is aging like a fine wine."

Another added, "Fawad Khan also played Hassan, a Muslim freedom fighter at the time of partition in the drama serial Dastaan with Sanam Baloch. Really loved the similarity."

More of Fawad and Mehwish, please!

Many were ecstatic to see Mehwish and Fawad sharing the screen for the first time ever. The onscreen couple's chemistry was obvious and fans couldn't get enough of their banter. There are certain scenes in episode five that will make you fall in love with Aisha and Hassan and we don't blame you!

It's no surprise that the duo charmed the audience with their take as an onscreen couple. One of the best MCU couples we've seen so far? You bet!

"Mehwish Hayat and Fawad Khan are the most gorgeous couple to grace the MCU so far," shared a user.

Another added, "So Mehwish Hayat and Fawad Khan are just two of the most gorgeous people on Earth, huh?"

One more commented, "Gawd, Mehwish Hayat and Fawad Khan's chemistry in the new ep of Ms. Marvel."

One tweep wrote, "South Asian/Muslims love representation is extremely rare in Hollywood/western media. Just loved Mehwish Hayat and Fawad Khan's on-screen romance and chemistry for the first time not in a Pakistani drama but in Hollywood's Ms. Marvel! So happy."

Another shared, "Ms. Marvel has been watched and I simply cannot articulate my emotions. It was quite difficult holding back tears during the first half. As if Hassan and Aisha's love story wasn't tragic enough, a sense of pride engulfed me upon witnessing Fawad khan reach such unparalleled heights!"

Fawad has returned to the screen after a six-year hiatus. The Humsafar star was last seen in Karan Johar's Bollywood directorial, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, which starred Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Rebirth | 2 years ago | Reply After being mocked and humiliated like in every continent on the planet including at home that they couldn t find an audience for their American brand of orientalism which is far more disgustingly ignorant and reflective of their average stupidity they decided to buy up social media trolls including Punjabi Sikhs. That one s the funniest of all. Their desperation to clump the Indian Punjabi Sikhs with Pakistani Muslims to compensate for their British complex is hilarious. The last time they tried to create new nation-states the world knew it as Balkanization. Maybe the collapse of the Soviet Union was something they felt pride in. But we all know how that s been working out for them these days.
