Malala Yousafzai, the Nobel Peace Prize winner, is stepping into the sitcom realm with a cameo appearance in the second season of the British show ‘We Are Lady Parts’. Her debut look from the TV series, featuring her wearing a cowboy hat while riding a horse, has stirred buzz on social media since its release. The episode, titled ‘Malala Made Me Do It,’ stars Anjana Vasan, Sarah Kameela Impey, Juliette Motamed, Lucie Shorthouse, and Faith Omole, according to The Express Tribune.
In season 2, the storyline depicts the members of a music band encountering obstacles such as eviction threats and competition from a rival band as they aim to record their debut album. In the second episode, the band’s vocalist’s daughter gets suspended from school for throwing eggs at her teacher. The plot centers on efforts to eliminate slavery from the curriculum.
As reported by Mashable India, Imani tells her mother, “I did what Malala would do. You know she fights for girls’ education every day.” The quote continues, quoting her mother as saying, “Imani, Malala would not throw eggs at Mr. Appleby!”
The band proceeds to compose the song ‘Malala Made Me Do It’, which underscores their challenges. During a fantasy sequence within the song, Ms. Yousafzai emerges on a fake horse adorned with a bejeweled, fringed cowboy hat atop a dupatta, and an exquisite blue dress.
Ms. Yousafzai’s appearance has sparked considerable excitement, with her telling Vogue that she “never anticipated being in a show.” She further expressed, “I’m finally revealing my hidden talent.”
Discussing her experience, she informed the New York Times, “On the day of filming, the set exceeded my wildest imagination entirely. Interestingly, I didn’t have lines, which made things much simpler.”
However, Ms. Yousafzai praised the series for its depiction of uplifting narratives involving Muslim girls, highlighting that it allows viewers “to connect with them and relate to them.”
