Asad was one of the six winners of the Netflix and Sky Screenwriters' Fellowship, led by Bisha K. Ali, with his original comedy-drama script 'What Will People Say'.
His work focuses on tackling the drama, romance and comedy that lives at the intersections his life: Queer, Muslim, British, Brown and Fat.
Comedy-drama, with dollops of romance, is where Asad feels most at home as a writer. He's not afraid of tackling deeper themes, while always unearthing the levity, warmth and empathy in every character and every story.
