Anjana Vasan and Sarah Kameela Impey on Music Comedy Series with Peacock’s We Are Lady Parts [Exclusive Interview]

We Are Lady Parts - Anjana Vasan and Sarah Kameela Impey

Peacock’s We Are Lady Parts is a series that breaks down Muslim stereotypes and conventional perceptions with comedy and alternative music. In a world today, many hold the Muslim culture to be very strict and conservative in their ways. Lead actresses Anjana Vasan and Sarah Kameela Impey hope the series show a different side of Muslim culture that is rich with diversity.

Here’s the official synopsis:

We Are Lady Parts shows the highs and lows of the band – Lady Parts—as seen through the eyes of Amina Hussain – a geeky microbiology PhD student, who’s on the lookout for love and is recruited to be their unlikely lead guitarist. Lady Parts’  fierce and enigmatic frontwoman Saira sees something in Amina. However, the other members – taxi-driving drummer Ayesha, cartoon-drawing bassist and backing vocalist Bisma, and the band’s wheeler-dealer band manager Momtaz – are not convinced she is right for their band. Amina has never met girls like this before, and she’s soon swept up in their joyful, anarchic energy and punk spirit. But she becomes torn and caught up between two different worlds – that of her more strait-laced university friends led by her bestie Noor and the world of Lady Parts. Will she be the key to the band’s success? And – will she finally find a husband?

The series also star Juliette Motamed, Faith Omole, Lucie Shorthouse, Zaqi Ismail, and Aiysha Hart. It is created and directed by Nida Manzoor.
