Recently, Nimra Khan appeared on Hasna Mana Hai, where she talked about being an unwanted child in her family. She also opened up about why she spent the early years of her life as a tomboy.

Talking about it, she said, “In fact, I never wanted to be a boy, but when I was born my parents didn’t want me. I was a rejected child. They wanted a son, but I was born—the fourth daughter. They decided on their own and took me to a hairdresser. I was just nine when he took out his machine and they transformed me into a boy. I went numb. I didn’t step out of the house for almost two weeks. Gradually, I accepted what had happened, and the whole neighbourhood started calling me Ali Bhai. I started becoming Ali Bhai—going with my parents to buy sacrificial animals and checking their teeth. I used to take the animals along with me. If someone called me Nimra, I would cry. “After some time, doctors warned my parents that it was getting out of hand because I was taking that gender-reversed role seriously. I had started looking like a boy. I used to wear a suit with a tie, and I would copy Hrithik Roshan. No girl would talk to me because of my look and attire. Many incidents like these happened in my life.”
