Malala Yousafzai is making her screen debut with a cameo in the second season of British show We Are Lady Parts. The Nobel Peace Prize winner’s first look from the TV series has created a buzz on social media ever since it was released. It shows Malala riding a horse and wearing a cowboy hat. Season 2 of Niza Mandour’s show, which features an appearance by the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner, begins on Thursday on the NBCUniversal streamer in the US and Channel 4 in the UK.

Sharing Malala’s first look on Reddit, one person wrote, “For some reason a lot of people are going to be upset by this.” Another said, “She has a habit of making weak fools very angry.” Some people on Instagram were not very impressed with the first look of Malala’s cameo.
One wrote, “She is doing what she does best…acting!!!! Everything is out in the open now.” Another said, “Acting and hidden talent? No! You were doing this from the beginning.” Another questioned her alleged silence on Palestine and commented on a post, “Rafah is on fire, and when did she speak up for them???” Someone defended Malala, writing, “Leave her alone! Let her live her life. She’s not living yours.”
Malala started her acting career
In an exclusive interview with British Vogue, the activist said she ‘never expected to be in a show’. Further asked how she got the parts in Nida Manzoor’s We Are Ladies – which stars Amina (Anjana Wasson), Saira (Sarah Kamila Impey), Ayesha (Juliet Motamed), Momtaz (Lucy Shorthouse) and Bisma (Faith Omole), members of a female Muslim punk band who are hell-bent on making it big – Malala said, “I went to the premiere of Polite Society, and I saw her speaking there. That film is a masterpiece. It broke all the stereotypes.”
She added, “I thank Nida for creating this and for making We Are Lady Parts. They are so important and reach so many people. They’re not just for brown people – there’s so much in them that everyone can relate to, from friendships and family dynamics to the confidence to follow your passion. That’s why I wanted to get into the entertainment world as well, because I want young people and women to have a chance to show the world as they see it, and through those stories we can all connect with each other. But, I’ve always been behind the scenes – I never thought I’d be on a show myself. Now, I’m finally showing my hidden talents.”
