“I’m honoured to be joining Beyonce and Bella Hadid.”
Malala Yousafzai made her acting debut in the second season of Channel 4’s popular sitcom We Are Lady Parts.
We Are Lady Parts is a British sitcom that follows a punk rock band, comprising only Muslim women.
The show has been praised for its accurate and nuanced portrayal of Muslim women and its blend of humour and heart.
The show has received critical acclaim and won several awards, including two prizes at the Gotham Awards and a Rose d’Or award.
The show’s creator, Nida Manzoor, received the Rose d’Or Emerging Talent Award for her work on the show.
Malala Yousafzai took to social media to express her excitement about being on the show.
Malala wrote: “I’m honoured to be joining Beyonce and Bella Hadid.”
She has a cameo in the second episode titled ‘Malala Made Me Do It’.
In the episode, the cast breaks out into a country song.
During the fantasy sequence accompanying the tune, Malala emerges from the shadows dressed in Western and Pakistani-inspired attire, sitting atop a fake horse.
However, the reaction from social media users has been overwhelmingly negative.
Many have expressed their disappointment and embarrassment at her decision to pursue acting.
Users have criticised Malala Yousafzai for what they perceive as an “embarrassing” and “cringeworthy” acting debut.
Some have even suggested that she should be focusing on more serious issues rather than pursuing an entertainment career.
Viewers have also accused her of not using her platform to speak out on important issues affecting certain communities.
Despite her achievements as a social activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Malala Yousafzai continues to face criticism.
It has sparked a wider conversation about the role of public figures in society and the expectations placed upon them.
A user wrote: “Every day she proves why Pakistani people hate her.”
Another added:
“I’m sorry world. We are embarrassed of her too.”
One said: “Malala has so much power and influence, but she could never make anyone do any good for Pakistan.”
Another commented: “This is what a Nobel prize winner is reduced to. Quite embarrassing.”
One stated: “This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. She actually looks like a clown in a circus.”
Another questioned: “What on God’s green Earth is this? Is this what happens to people when they get a little bit of attention?”
