Further in the video, Mahira showed her daughter going through the process of getting her facial hair removed from her upper lips. Her tender skin was red from the process, and one could notice she was scared of the laser. Mahira further revealed that she was also a hairy child, but her time was different. The actress revealed that they had to live with moustaches and unibrows till they were older or got married. She even faced bullying due to her hair. Mahira was quoted as saying:
“Was also hairy as a child. But our generation was different. We had to live with our moustache, the unibrow, and of course, we couldn’t remove it until we were older or sometimes even marriage. We were bullied for the amount of hair we had.”
However, she didn’t want the same thing for her daughter. Mahira claimed that she as a mother decided to protect her daughter from getting bullied due to excessive hair and built confidence in her. She said:
“But I decided that my daughter shouldn’t go through the same experience and thank god today, the advanced technology provides safe hair removal procedure for kids. I’m not promoting this in any way. But my role as a mom is to protect my daughter from bullying, help her self-confidence, and let her live the best way possible with what’s available today.”
What could be the best alternative for removing hair for pre-teens and teens?
Well, Mahira’s decision brought mixed reactions. While we are no one to judge, for those who are going through excessive hair problems as young children, the best alternative is to use homemade remedies. India is a hub of ubtans and dadi maa’s nushkhe. When a child is born, special ubtans are put on their body, which is comprised of besan, badam, olive oil, rose water, and milk. They are known to help tackle the body hair, and it grows less.
