When does Maya Jama appear in The Gentlemen season 2?

Maya Jama’s The Gentlemen season 2 role explained
Maya Jama portrays a character named Aisha in the second season of The Gentlemen on Netflix.
She plays the wife of one of Eddie Horniman’s (played by Theo James) criminal associates, Prince Amir bin Abdullah al-Hadidi, brought to life by actor Amra Mallassi, reports the Express.
Susie Glass (Kaya Scodelario) describes her as a “clever girl” and “aspirational”, saying: “Looks after herself and everyone who comes within her orbit. She moved out to the Middle East five years ago to work in hospitality. Now she’s snagged herself a seat at the royal table.”
Talking about her experience shooting The Gentlemen, Jama described creator Guy Ritchie as “very personable” to Variety.
She continued: “He’s really kind and nice. He doesn’t feel as intimidating as you’d think, being who he is. He’s very personable and he would be like, ‘Yeah, you’re doing well’, and reassure me, which was really nice.
“He’s just really involved and kind of a genius to watch, because everyone’s practising their lines and then he says something that’s way better than the original. You just feel like you’re in the presence of greatness.”
The Gentlemen is available to stream on Netflix.
