What’s your first memory of each other?
Mishal: I remember the first time I saw Nush, she was this kitten-faced-thing cuddled up in my mom’s arms at the hospital. Needless to say it was a moment of jealousy!
Anushaye: I’m eight years younger than Mish so there must be lots of firsts that I don’t remember. But I’ll never forget dropping her to school every morning while she ate her cereal in the car.
What is the craziest thing you have done together?
Mishal: Nush and I put together are pretty much crazy all the time, we understand this side of each other that no one else does!
Anushaye: Mish and I are insanely hyper people and together we are probably the wildest pair. We’ve done things like wear princess wigs in the children’s section and make turmeric face masks, that made us look like minions.
What did you get punished for the most as a child?
Mishal: Everything! While Nush stood in a corner and observed it all, so she could be the perfect child learning from our mistakes. She’s pure evil!
Anushaye: Well, I didn’t get punished for much since I learnt quite a bit from my sloppy older siblings to know what not to do, but boy did we both really get it from our mom in our teens.
If you could only wear one piece of clothing for the rest of your life, from the others closet, what would it be?
Mishal: If you physically see us you’ll know there’s no way I can fit into anything she owns. Though I do love this gorgeous Bunto Kazmi outfit she has and I have my eyes on it.
Anushaye: I love Mishal’s taste in clothing so it is safe to say I’d love to steal more than half of it. I do particularly adore her new fur jacket, which is soft enough to spend my whole life in.
If you could swap places with each other, what’s the first thing you would do?
Mishal: I would eat like a maniac because this girl does not gain weight. I hate her for being a stick figure!
Anushaye: I’m so envious of her voluminous hair that I would probably run to get a blow dry and bounce around in the curls all day!
What is the one thing you love about your sister?
Mishal: I love that although she pretends to be a tough cookie on the outside, she’s super loving and would go to any length for me.
Anushaye: There isn’t much not to love about her, but what I love the most is how she’s always there to cheer me up, listen to me or crack a joke, whenever I need her.
If you are fighting with each other, how do you make up?
Mishal: We don’t talk for a few seconds and then one of us cracks a joke and we’re okay.
Anushaye: We are both ferocious and sensitive so when we’re fighting it turns into a warzone. However, all it takes to fix is five seconds of silence, and looking at each other blankly to burst out laughing.
What is the one secret talent your sister has, that you wish you did too?
Mishal: I hate to admit that she’s way more organised than I am, and a fabulous cook!
Anushaye: Growing up I acquired a lot of her talents, but how effortlessly she balances work, her children, family and a social life is definitely something I admire.
Describe your sister in three words:
Mishal: Fierce, passionate and dramatic.
Anushaye: Beautiful, hilarious and creative.
Which fictional character is your sister most like?
Mishal: Bambi. With those eyes what else could it be!
Anushaye: She reminds me of Dory from Finding Nemo because she’s just as forgetful and hilarious.
How are your personalities similar?
Mishal: We’re both similar in many ways, it’s freaky. From the way we talk, to our love for food and generally everything else too.
Anushaye: We’re similar in so many ways. We are both hot-headed but real marshmallows at heart. The way we think, talk and process emotions is also identical. You can barely tell we’re nearly a decade apart!
I can’t live without my sister because…
Mishal: She’s my life-line, I would crumble without her support. Plus how can one pass on free baby-sitting!
Anushaye: My sister is my best friend, my partner-in-crime, my best advisor and confidant all in one (and you too mom). I wouldn’t be who I am without my wonderful sister.
