what made the parents of neha and sachin feel proud?
Answers
NEW DELHI: Sachin Tendulkar has many firsts to his credit but a "first shave" from female barbers Neha and Jyoti is something that he will possibly be proud of, having done his bit in breaking the gender stereotype prevalent in India.
Hailing from the Banwari Tola village in Uttar Pradesh, Neha and Jyoti entered the profession, which till now has been strictly considered to be a male bastion.
The two young women took over their father's shop back in 2014, when he fell ill.
It wasn't an easy journey as they had to disguise themselves in order to get work as initially men would be reluctant to get a shave or a hair cut from a woman barber.

It was the advertisement of their inspirational story that led to Tendulkar getting a shave from the two 'barbershop girls'.
The iconic cricketer then shared a post on instagram.
