Even Nobel winners like a night out at the cinema once in awhile. Education activist and Nobel peace prize recipient Malala Yousafzai<\/strong>, known mononymously as Malala<\/a>, joined millions of people around the world and watched Barbie<\/em><\/a> in theaters this weekend\u2014capturing the moment with her husband, Asser Malik<\/strong>, in hilarious fashion.\u00a0<\/p>\n This content can also be viewed on the site it originates<\/a> from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Malala and her husband posed for a photo in a lifesized plastic Barbie box. \u201cThis Barbie has a Nobel Prize,\u201d Malala captioned the photo. \u201cHe’s just Ken.\u201d Mic drop.\u00a0<\/p>\n Malala, of course, is one of the only people on the planet who can say that and have it actually be true. She rose to international renown in 2012 at the age of 15, after the Taliban shot her in the head<\/a> while she was on the bus home from school, accusing her of promoting \u201cWestern thinking\u201d by advocating for girls to receive an education. She survived the attack and became a global phenomenon and vocal activist for woman’s right to education, writing the book I Am Malala<\/em><\/a> in 2013. The following year, she became the youngest person ever to receive the Nobel peace prize at 17-years-old for her activism and for showing “children and young people, too, can contribute to improving their own situations.”<\/p>\n Malala has been married to Malik, currently general manager of high performance for the Pakistan Cricket Board, \u00a0since 2021. While we don’t know whether or not they pulled a Barbenheimer double header<\/a>, the married couple definitely seemed to be channeling Barbenheimer with their outfits as Malala wore pink and her husband donned a black blazer. Beneath the funny caption, Malal expressed their joint admiration for Greta Gerwig<\/strong>‘s Barbie.<\/em> \u201cWe loved the movie, it was so funny and thoughtful,\u201d she said. “I hope this caption doesn’t hurt all the Kens as much as the movie Ken.”\u00a0<\/p>\n Malala’s Barbie<\/em>-themed Instagram post has received over 680,000 likes and counting. While she playfully ribbed her husband in the post, it seems her husband also has a great sense of humor. He commented on Malala’s instagram \u201cI am Kenough.\u201d If Malik is \u201cKenough\u201d for a woman as brilliant as Malala, then that’s all that matters.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\nInstagram content<\/h4>\n
