Ms. Marvel Actor Zenobia Shroff Reacts To Western Press That Repeatedly Misnamed Her |  Web series

 


The new Marvel Cinematic Universe series, Ms Marvel, is currently streaming worldwide. It premiered on Disney+ last week and saw its second episode airing this Wednesday. The story of Marvel’s first dark-haired superhero is acclaimed, as are its cast, including Indian actor Zenobia Shroff, who plays the lead characters’ mother. However, the actor was recently upset when two major international publications misnamed her in their articles. In a response to Hindustan Times, Zenobia says this shows laziness on their part.

Ms. Marvel centers on Pakistani-American teenager Kamala Khan (played by Iman Vellani) and her struggle to gain superpowers. Zenobia plays her mother Muneeba in the series, along with fellow Indian actors Mohan Kapur and Sagar Shaikh, who play her father and brother respectively. Last week, a New York Times article about the show included a photo of the Khan family, in which the caption identified Zenobia as fellow Indian actor Nimra Bucha. Another Indie Wire article on Ms. Marvel misspelled Zenobias’ name.

The actor took to his social media, sharing a screenshot of the NY Times article, saying I don’t appreciate you not doing your research. Her caption read: I am not Nimra Bucha whom I adore, but we are two different people. Responding to HT via email, Zenobia says so far there has been no response from either publication. There was no response from The New York Times or the Independent Wire despite being re-tweeted a bit. NY Times is pretty good at offering retractions but we haven’t heard anything, she said.

When asked if the Western press often gets her name wrong, Zenobia replies: Answering is like asking if the sky is blue! I’ve been misidentified and misrepresented so many times in my career in the past, there’s an entire section in my solo show devoted solely to the mispronunciation of my name. I have been called everything from Zuniba to Janabi to Zubina to Zimbobia. Even recently!

The actor, who has appeared in films like Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu and The Big Sick, agrees that race plays a role in this behavior. She says: Yes, it’s about brown and black people. I respond on behalf of my black and brown artist friends. Why are the names of white people never mispronounced? Nor are they mislabeled as someone else. It’s as if we were interchangeable. We are not interchangeable!

She maintains that many other actors in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, who play superhero mothers just like her, have never experienced such treatment. I’m one of the many moms in the Marvel Universe and while my counterparts like Sally Field and Marisa Tomei are far bigger stars than me, you’ve never seen them mistaken for anyone else, heard their mispronounced or misspelled names. Do you, asks Zenobia.

The actor attributes all this to the laziness of a part of the media in question, which, according to her, stems from the belief that these artists are not important. She says, Laziness, lack of due diligence and lack of fact-checking are simply the manifestation of saying: you’re not important enough, you don’t really matter. When will that change, I wonder.

Zenobia is a film and stage veteran having worked as an actor for over thirty years in India and the West. She began her acting career in Mumbai under the mentorship of comedian Pearl Padamsee before moving to the United States to work in off-Broadway plays. Apart from her film, television and theater roles, she has also taught acting and movement in New York and Mumbai.
