Best friends and sisters, Amna Ahmar, a dermatologist and Mahrukh Mannan, a make-up artist talk sisterhood. From travelling to Las Vegas together, to their childhood antics, these sisters share it all

What’s your first memory of each other?

Mahrukh: I have lots of memories of us but the one that made me cry the most was when she told me our parents picked me from the bin and I still smelled like garbage.

Amna: I was 10 years old when Mahrukh was born I remember holding her right when she was born. She was a tiny baby and I helped Mama bathe her for the first time.



What is the craziest thing you have done together?

Mahrukh: So many crazy sleepovers after she got married! Once she came over to our mum’s place after her second baby was born and we snuck out and had a crazy time.

Amna: Well we have been to Vegas together! Let your imagination run wild (haha).

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

Mahrukh: I don’t remember ever being punished. I was a good child or maybe my parents were too lenient.

Amna: For not taking Mahrukh with me to my friend’s gatherings and now we hardly hangout without each other.

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

Mahrukh: Her white culottes maybe. They’re always with me and I hardly give her a chance to wear them!

Amna: Her fluffy dog-faced room slippers!



What is the one thing you love about your sibling?

Mahrukh: She is always nice to everyone and is an angel in front of all the elders.

Amna: She is always there for me. I sometimes take her for granted especially when it comes to babysitting. She makes my life so simple by taking care of my kids. She would do anything for me.

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

Mahrukh: We never fight! Even if we did, we would just talk it out and make it up to each other.

Amna: It’s absurd — we have never fought. I don’t recall any fights at all. The only complaint Mahrukh has is that our parents love me more. I don’t think that is even close to being true, she’s their baby girl.

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

Mahrukh: She is always just nice to everyone.

Amna: Mahrukh has a very daring personality. She has self-confidence and that makes her shine. She believes in herself and keeps improving every day. I have seen her evolve from a baby to a grown up professional in the span of a few years.



Describe your sibling in three words:

Mahrukh: Hard working, soft hearted, sensitive.

Amna: Loving, professional and courageous.

Which fictional character is your sibling most like?

Mahrukh: Alice in Wonderland.

Amna: Cat Woman.

How are your personalities similar?

Mahrukh: We have opposite personalities and that’s why we get along so well!

Amna: Well we are truly opposites! I’m a geek and she’s a fashionista!

I can’t live without my sister because

Mahrukh: I cannot live without her because she’s my life saver. She has always had my back no matter what!

Amna: She helps me keep a balance in my life. After work, she is my entertainment. She keeps me alive and young. We can’t sleep without gossiping about the day.
