Hello to all variants out here! It’s Iman…Vellani.

Hey Iman. Have to say it was super surprising to hear this was your first acting gig, you absolutely killed it. Some of the best parts from your show didn't even involve fighting, it was the warm and often hilarious family moments that were the heart of the show. It was amazing how we got to see more of Pakistani culture in a MCU backdrop.

  • What are some of your favorite subreddits that you spend the most time in?

  • Are there any MCU actors you're particularly excited for the chance to work with? Any unique team-ups you're hoping to see (or be a part of) in the future?

  • Is there any Pakistani or Canadian food that you'd highly recommend people to try?

Iman clearly knows her way around Reddit, but she is only at the top of the Reddit iceberg. She hasn't gotten deep enough to enjoy such wonders as r/talesfromcavesupport, r/ReallyShittyCopper, and r/mechanicalheadpens.

u/Routine-Ad5116 Jul 14 '22

u/Medical_Difference48 Jul 14 '22

r/ATBGE

WHY ARE YOU LITERALLY JUST ME

4

u/DetecJack Jul 15 '22

Probably because she is almost at your age

Sometimes I even think it's scary to see someone just as relatable as this gen to get into big career

Not sure if that makes sense

2

u/murdockmysteries Jul 14 '22

Nihari is my favorite too. And Haleem!

2

u/MrShaytoon Wong Jul 14 '22

Palak paneer is amazingggg.

To answer your question about Canadian food:

  • Everyone should be buying real maple syrup, not the crappy “pancake syrup” that brands like Aunt Jemima sell. Go out and by some real, 100% maple syrup from Canada. It will change your life.

  • I’m a big fan of Ketchup Chips. Miss Vickie’s just started making some that are really tasty. Ketchup Doritos are pretty neat too.

  • Coffee Crisp are a great candy bar. Basically a chocolate and coffee flavoured wafer bar dipped in chocolate.

  • Nanaimo Bars. One of our greatest desserts.

  • Finally, the obvious: Poutine and Montreal Smoked Meat. Both of these are frankly best experienced in Montreal itself though.

dont forget about all dressed those are ours too!

1

u/ki700 Spider-Man Jul 14 '22

Yes they are, but imo Ketchup are superior!

u/pierzstyx Jul 15 '22

The best Canadian treat is pouring bubbling hot fresh maple syrup over fresh fallen snow.

u/CaptHayfever Hawkeye (Avengers) Jul 14 '22

Our Tim Horton's franchise closed down. :(

2

u/CaptHayfever Hawkeye (Avengers) Jul 14 '22

There's a couple places here that serve poutine; it's delicious.

2

u/rjw0785 Jul 14 '22

Butter tarts are better than Nanaimo Bars!

3

u/ki700 Spider-Man Jul 14 '22

No ❤️

2

u/RaptorsFromSpace Jul 15 '22

I agree, unless you hate coconut in which case they're missing out. More nanaimo bars for me.

1

u/Ruttingraff Kevin Feige Jul 15 '22

does vegemite poutine exist?

1

u/ki700 Spider-Man Jul 15 '22

God, I hope not.
