Congratulations to the fantastic Marianne Infante on her recognition at last weeks WIFT Awards 2024! She was awarded with the following:
SAE Award for Outstanding Newcomer
Presented to Marianne Infante for excellence in performance and advocating for minority voices to be recognised on stage and screen.
As a constant champion of others, it's marvellous to see her acknowledged for her work on and off the stage and screen!
Mustaq plays an important figure on and off screen.
"If you look at Uncle Faizan's character arc, his function in the show is slightly comedic and offers a different perspective to the younger people," says Mustaq. "He represents - in a heightened way - the views of the people of his generation which are still extremely important. But younger generations will often challenge that. This is a good thing. Every generation should be better than the one that preceded it."
