Aunty Kameela

Aunty Kameela is the sister of Misbah Maalik and Hasina Qureshi.
Kameela visited Misbah in June 2018. Misbah worked hard to please Kameela, making the family wear traditional outfits and asking Kim Butterfield, Farrah Maalik's girlfriend, to remain upstairs. Kameela walked in on Misbah telling Farrah and Yasmine Maalik that she has always looked down on Misbah and ruined Kashif's first marriage. Farrah took a strong disliking to Kameela, whilst Imran was pleased when she defended Imran to Misbah. Yasmine started an argument with Imran, resulting in Kameela shouting at Misbah for not controlling her family. Misbah exploded and threw her out.
Kameela returned in September 2018, having not changed at all. She was not impressed to meet Brooke Hathaway, who Imran was dating. Taking snipes at Sami Maalik for framing James Nightingale for murder, she also shouted at Brooke for writing in their journal. This resulted in Imran shouting at Kameela, Misbah shouting at Imran, and Brooke running off.
Kameela arrived in March 2019, walking in on Liberty Savage telling Sami of her feelings for him. Kameela took an immediate liking to Liberty, telling Sami that he wasn't getting any younger and that Liberty would make the perfect wife and mother. Despite Sami telling her not to, Kameela invited her over to share a meal with the family the next day. Telling the family that she was preparing for a guest of honour, Sami was infuriated to find that all of the effort Kameela was putting in was not for someone from the Mosque, but for Liberty! In June 2019, Kameela brought Liberty traditional outfits for Liberty and Sami's wedding. Liberty posted a picture of herself, Yasmine, Misbah, Kameela and Peri Lomax in the outfits on social media, angering Peri's uncle, Ste Hay.
In September 2019, Kameela arrived to visit the family again, this time walking in on Sami announcing that his girlfriend Sinead Shelby was moving in. Misbah lied that Sami and Sinead were engaged, which made Kameela approve and lead to Sami and Sinead actually getting engaged. Kameela then revealed that she had asked Sami's half-brother, Azim Desai, to plan the engagement party and wedding.
Meeting with the Maaliks for her birthday in February 2022, Kameela judged the family and the house as the family attempted to convince her that they were doing well. Kameela told Misbah that Kashif would be proud of her, but was left confused when her nephew Shaq Qureshi refused to speak to her about a quiet Hasina, let alone even speak to her. Kameela's questions were answered by a drunken Imran, and a horrified Kameela left.
