I can never forget that joy and laughter. ‘

Samaira said, ‘I cut my hair 8 inches shorter. I was definitely thinking that I do not know how I will look when my hair is short. My mother helped me in this and supported me. ‘ On the other hand, elder sister Elakshi says, ‘I was scared when I sat on the chair to cut the weights. I was thinking about what my friends would say. But I also knew that I was going to give happiness to someone. ‘
After the haircut, the two sisters safely sent them to Mumbai. Both say, ‘Whoever wears the wig with our hair, we will write a letter to it later.’ Certainly this step of Elakshi and Samaira is commendable. The inspiration that arouses in them after watching a video will bring joy to someone else’s face.
