Malala’s first look in the British comedy ‘We Are Lady Parts’
The first glimpse at Malala Yousafzai’s character in the British comedy ‘We Are Lady Parts’ is circulating on social media.
Clad in a cowboy avatar, complete with hat and [fake] horse. Malala appeared in Season 2 of the acclaimed show, with the first episode airing yesterday (May 30). Nida Manzoor wrote and directed the British sitcom ‘We Are Lady Parts’. The show is about a British punk rock band called Lady Parts, which was created entirely by Muslim women.
Malala’s Season 2 appearance also featured a song called ‘Malala Made Me Do It’.
In an interview with British Vogue, the Nobel Prize winner explained why she agreed to the cameo: “This was perhaps the first drama I watched where you had Muslim characters who were not side characters – you had five of them as leads.” “That stood out.” She also told Vogue that she was concerned about her appearance, particularly her head covering: “I want to look attractive. I would like someone to put as much work into the dupatta and how I want to cover my head as anything else. When I saw their expression and the hat, I knew they had given it some attention. “I was quite happy.”
Meanwhile, the show’s director, Nida Manzoor, told the Los Angeles Times that she decided to ask Malala for a cameo because she had heard Malala talk about her love of comedy and “she had such a dark sense of humour.” She is quite witty. I thought, ‘This woman likes humour, so I might have a shot.'”
