February 07, 2016

Siblings Maliha Aziz and Muhammad Ali Aziz talk about late night visits to shabby Italian hospitals, making up after a fight with anaar juice and their workaholic natures

What’s your first memory of each other?

Ali: I started calling Maliha ‘Radio Pakistan’ because she talks so much, or Mani (roti) because she was very round.

Maliha: Being very annoyed with a dress and Ali counseling me by saying, “you look just like Princess Diana in that dress.”



What is the craziest thing you have done together?

Ali: There have been many crazy adventures.

Maliha: We were at a remote beach resort off the coast of Italy on a summer holiday. It was our first day there and we went down to explore the resort. At the mini golf course, Ali was standing behind me and I made a full swing with my golf club that landed straight under his eye. There was blood everywhere! He got 18 stiches at a shabby Italian hospital that night!

What did you get punished for the most as a child?

Ali: The list is too long, but mostly for being destructive and distracting.

Maliha: For being talkative and distracting others, as well as covering up for Ali.



If you could only wear one piece of clothing for the rest of your life, from the other’s closet, what would it be?

Ali: I have used some of her silk scarves as pocket squares.

Maliha: College sweatshirts.



If you could swap places with each other, what’s the first thing you would do?

Ali: I would be more cut-throat businesswise. Maliha is too nice.

Maliha: Stop being such a control freak.

What is the one thing you love about your sibling?

Ali: She is fiercely protective about people she loves.

Maliha: He will always help anyone no matter what!



If you are fighting with each other, how do you make up?

Ali: I take Maliha out for anaar juice.

Maliha: I text him an apology or give him a hug!

What is one secret talent your sibling has, that you wish you did too?

Ali: Networking, or striking up a friendship in minutes with anyone and everyone.

Maliha: He knows everything about everything!

Describe your sibling in three words:

Ali: Caring, tireless, and high on life.

Maliha: Kind, a workaholic, and determined.

Which fictional character is your brother/sister most like?

Ali: Tweety Bird.

Maliha: Top Cat.

How are your personalities similar?

Ali: We are both workaholics.

Maliha: Ambitious, sensitive and outgoing.

I can’t live without my brother/sister because…

Ali: She is my support pillar.

Maliha: He has a piece of my heart!
