    Pakistani women have come a long way in their depictions on screen. From being exoticized as a white man 's fantasy to now given roles in which they have agency and drive, Pakistani actresses have played a major role in changing dominant narratives. As of Dec 2023, Nimra Bucha played a role in the BBC adaptation of Agatha Christie's Murder is Easy and had a story arc in Ms. Marvel, a show about the first Pakistani super hero to grace our screens.
