In 2014, a great misfortune happened in the family of Jyoti and Neha Kumari. The girls’ father was bedridden.
In the beginning, the young inhabitants of Uttar Pradesh (India), then aged 13 and 11, lived on savings. But when the money ran out, they realized it was time to earn a living themselves.
The girls’ father ran a hair salon and they started working there. But alas, the male customers were dismissive of the young employees, not understanding how the girls could at least understand something in a field like men’s hairdressing and shaving.
It was then that Jyoti and Nehi changed their names to men, cut their hair short, and started wearing men’s clothes, posing as brothers.
Of course, the villagers knew the secret. But the barbershop was continually visited by customers from other villages, who had no idea who the young workers really were.
Of course, Jyoti and Nehi had to endure a lot of teasing because of their “strangeness”. But they didn’t give up.
By the way, the clients are so pleased with their efforts that the girls finally revealed their secret and will return to the female appearance.
The story of their selfless service to the family became public knowledge. And a government official met the sisters personally to present them with an award.
As for the girls’ father, he has only recently started to get out of bed. But he can’t work yet.
The man, with tears in his eyes, said he was proud of his daughters and proud of them all these years.
