How sisters from India pretended to be men for 4 years for the love of family

Two sisters Jyoti (Jyoti) and Neha (Neha) for four years pretended to be guys to earn money. Their father became very ill and could no longer work in the family barber shop, so the young girls decided to do haircuts.

But not everything is so simple. According to local laws, Indian women can only work at home or on a farm. Therefore, in order to somehow help their family, the girls had to go to a trick.

In a small Indian village in Uttar Pradesh, a Kumari family lived, whose only source of income was a small barber shop. When the father of the family fell ill and could no longer work, they had great financial difficulties. In order to somehow make ends meet, the sisters Jyoti and Neha decided to do haircuts themselves.

Of course, Kumari's neighbors almost immediately found out about the deception, but since the visitors to the barbershop were mostly residents of other villages, the Indian women managed to hide their real gender for quite a long time.

For four years, the girls went to school in the morning, and worked in a barber shop in the afternoon. The budget "beauty salon" was located in a small room with peeling paint on the walls and cracks everywhere. Jyoti and Neha managed to earn 400 rupees a day (about 400 rubles). This money was enough to feed the family and help the sick father.Over time, the girls gained confidence in themselves and their business, so they gradually began to reveal their personalities. Local journalists found out about the Indians, and later even people in the government. High-ranking officials personally visited Kumari's house and expressed gratitude to the sisters for their self-sacrifice.

Now Jyoti and Neha no longer cut their hair "for boys", but they still continue to work in a barbershop. According to the sisters, the clients forgave them the deception, having learned about the noble intentions, and continue to come to them for haircuts.
