HELLO

I am a Scottish Asian screenwriter and journalist. After spending a near decade living in London, I am based back home in Glasgow, though always happy to travel for the right project.

I currently have a film and several scripted TV projects in development with leading production companies, along with an RTS-nominated comedy short.

My debut sitcom, Beta Female, aired on BBC Radio 4 and ran for two critically acclaimed seasons, reflecting my love of sharp, character driven storytelling with cultural depth.

I write a monthly column for Hyphen magazine and my journalism has featured in a range of publications including The Guardian, BBC, GQ, New Statesman, Glamour, BuzzFeed, and HuffPost. I’m also a regular contributor to BBC Scotland, where I share insights on current affairs and pop culture.

My work is included in two bestselling and culturally significant anthologies: It’s Not About The Burqa, a powerful collection of essays by Muslim women, and Who’s Loving You, a bold reimagining of romantic fiction by women of colour.

Thanks for popping by!
