For all of us, watching Ms Marvel has been a revitalising experience. It has greatly boosted our spirits to be able to recognise and identify with characters who are so much like us. This portrayal of Pakistanis is unparalleled. We are quite pleased that the series has chosen to cast our very own actors in various roles as well.

Fans have been anticipating Mehwish Hayat and Fawad Khan’s appearances on Ms Marvel ever since the cast of the series was revealed. Although we only caught a glimpse of the two actors in earlier episodes, viewers couldn’t wait to learn more about their whole storylines.

One of Pakistan’s most in-demand actresses, Mehwish Hayat is recognised for her remarkable performances in comedies like Actor in Law, Punjab Nahi Jaungi, and Load Wedding, all of which are among the highest-grossing movies in the country. The original heartthrob of Pakistan, Fawad Khan, is an actor, producer, screenwriter, model, and singer. He has won numerous honours, including a Filmfare Award, three Lux Style Awards, and six Hum Awards. Jutt and Bond, a popular television sitcom, was where Khan made his acting debut.

In the fifth episode of the series, we saw Fawad Khan and Mehwish Hayat share the screen to tell the story of Kamala’s great-grandparents. Fans have been raving about the chemistry between the two stars ever since the episode was released.

Through Fawad and Mehwish, the episode transports us back to the partition’s historical events. Old footage from the partition and the creation of Pakistan in 1947 is shown at the start. Following that, we are transported to 1942, when the two characters first encounter one another.

The love story of Kamala’s great-grandparents was not given much screen time, but we do see incredible chemistry between the two, and just that has viewers replaying the episode over and over again.

Here are some fan reactions to the latest episode
