Bagi yang sudah menonton filem terbaharu Marvel Spiderman: Far From Home pasti akan terpandang kelibat seorang wanita muslim berhijab yang menjadi rakan sekelas Peter Parker.



Biarpun sekadar watak sampingan, ramai yang sudah membuat andaian bahawa Marvel Cinematic Universe sudah mula menerima kehadiran watak wanita muslim.

Jom semak fakta menarik tentang gadis kacukan Pakistan-British ini, Zoha Rahman:

1. Dilahirkan di Pakistan, Zoha berpindah ke London bersama keluarganya pada tahun 2012 untuk menyambung pelajaran.

This is the hardest, and by far the best secret I’ve ever had to keep. . . When I was asked if I was happy to wear a hijab for this role I basically jumped into it, full force, sent selfies in a dupatta as a hijab straight away to the casting director. . . You see, I was a little brown girl who watched movies and adverts and tv shows and cartoons and billboards but never saw herself. So this was a private little mission, to see myself where little brown girls didn’t belong. And as this grew, I realised how selfish I had been to think I was the only one thinking and feeling and hoping the way I was. So this one’s for all of us little brown girls, all of us little girls, all of us little boys, all of us changing the stories we tell from now on ✨ . . ? PC @remyhii ?

2. Merupakan graduan dalam bidang undang-undang, Zoha bagaimanapun meneruskan minatnya dalam bidang peragaan dan lakonan.

3. Zoha berupaya untuk bercakap dalam empat bahasa iaitu bahasa Inggeris, Urdu, Hindi dan Punjabi.

Malah, gadis itu mampu berkomunikasi dalam bahasa Mandarin, Arab dan aksen Kanada sera Pashto.

4. Dalam kehidupan sebenar, Zoha tidak berhijab.

Malah, ketika sesi ujibakat Zoha tidak dimaklumkan mengenai watak yang bakal dilakonkan sehingga mendapat tawaran kontrak.

"Saya muslim tetapi saya tidak berhijab," katanya dalam satu temu bual bersama media antarabangsa.

Unbe-leaf-ably grateful for all you pretty flowers sending me love non-stop ❤️

5. Selain Spiderman: Far From Home, Zoha pernah muncul dengan sebuah filem Telugu berjudul Mr. Majnu pada Januari lalu.

Dengan kemunculan Zoha dalam Spiderman: Far From Home itu sedikit sebanyak menguatkan spekulasi bahawa dia bakal melakonkan watak Ms Marvel iaitu Kamala Khan kelak.

"Saya sering diajukan soalan ini. Saya sendiri berharap ia akan menjadi kenyataan tetapi saya tak tahu," katanya kepada Teen Vogue.

Last day on set for @spidermanmovie , i was far from home but I made friends for life, travelled to beautiful new places, learnt invaluable lessons and had some incredible food along the way. When this movie comes out I’ll just be thinking about everything that was happening behind the scenes that made all our hard work worth it. Das a wrap, See you all in cinemas July 2nd!
