Who wear hijab and are as ordinary people as those who don’t wear hijab. She is a Pakistan born actor. Moreover, she says that earlier, her original role was not about wearing hijab. But later on, they asked that if she would like the role of a hijabi and she instantly agreed to do the role.

Moreover, Muslim female characters are shown as oppressed. Therefore, It was a big matter for me to represent all those women who cover their heads. But are the strongest, funniest and most intelligent women.
