While Nisha Aaliya has spent several years working as a professional actor, her role as Raava on "Secret Invasion" stands as her most high-profile appearance yet. Fittingly, the actor has been quite vocal about her excitement about joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. "Wrapped on my dream project with Marvel Studios a year and [a] half ago, and still getting my head around being in the MCU from the comics," she wrote in an Instagram post. "A milestone, a manifestation, a day dream, and now #secretinvasion."

Aaliya is getting quite the unique MCU debut too, as both the show and her character are proving to be massive shake-ups to the status quo of the franchise. In an interview with The Movie Times, Aaliya noted how much "Secret Invasion" stands out from what has come before. "I think this is definitely different to the other Marvel Studios projects," she explained. "It's an espionage thriller, so I think people will really enjoy this and I think it's a new and exciting thing as well for the MCU to be exploring."
