'I want to work towards fewer caricatures and more humanity in our representation.'
Late last year, Tom posted to his Instagram Story a behind-the-scenes look at filming, “I have no idea who that girl from tom holland’s ig story is playing in spiderman far from home but if we’re actually getting a muslim character who’s more than just an extra in the movie i’m gonna build jon watts a shrine.”, and even the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s own depictions over the years.
This [role] is a dream come true for me as much as it is for the girls around me. I grew up without seeing someone like myself onscreen. And when I did start seeing representations in mainstream media, they were irresponsible and poor. Muslims and Pakistanis are often offered one of two portrayals; oppressed or violent. I treated my role as a huge responsibility. I am Muslim, but I do not wear the hijab on a daily basis. I wanted to do it justice.
A lot of people only saw me in the hijab. I definitely felt this air of hesitation from them, though it wasn’t uneasiness; I never felt any negativity. It was more of a cautious approach towards me. I had many curious looks from others, especially when we were working on the European leg of filming. I remember at our first non-work cast-and-crew gathering, many people didn't recognize me instantly. It was a very Clark Kent/Superman moment for me.
