After a six-year hiatus, Pakistani superstar Fawad Khan has finally returned to the screen.

In episode five of the web show, the Khoobsurat actor comes into view when the series’ protagonist Kamala, who is a Pakistani-American teen who receives superpowers from a bracelet given to her by her grandmother, teleported to the partition of India in 1947.
