Does Mashal Khan look like Wednesday Addams? Actor says she's part of the goth family

It seems like we have the perfect candidate to replace Jenna Ortega if we ever have a local adaptation of the chart-buster Wednesday, Addams’ Family's Netflix spinoff series. Actor Mashal Khan, with her sharp jawline and middle-parted poker-straight black hair, thinks she passes the goth vibe and looks like Wednesday Addams.

Khan’s bio on Instagram says that she’s a “member of the Addams family.” Whether it’s her obsession with the show or a resemblance she finds with the look and personality, we’re so on board with this fangirling! Perhaps, if we get to see a sneak peek of the Suno Chanda actor in braids and with an umbrella — as Jenna Ortega’s first poster for Wednesday – that would be more convincing.

On the work front, Khan was last seen in Saaya, Qissa Meherbano Ka and Parizaad. She was engaged to actor Ali Ansari for two years before the couple split and the latter married Saboor Aly. In a previous interview, Khan noted that she won't marry any of her co-stars since there's "no guarantee for a smooth relationship" with people who work in the same field as you.

Wednesday has broken many multiple viewership records on Netflix and till date, is the second most popular English language series on the streaming platform.

The much-lauded mystery TV series follows a young goth named Wednesday Addams, played by Jenna Ortega, who joins Nevermore Academy in an effort to develop her psychic skills and investigate a crime that occurred twenty years ago. Other than Ortega, the star-studded show includes Gwendoline Christie, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane, Hunter Doohan, Percy Hynes White and many more.
