I have to say it was the hairless thing that made me really upset. I’m half Asian but have always had very dark body hair, was hairier than my brother growing up (his arm hair was blonde mine is dark brown) have had to pluck my brows and upper lip hair since I was like 15 and have waxed my arms since then too. I didn’t grow up with the Asian half of my family or have any Asians around me growing up because of the area I lived in was not diverse. I was sooooooooo ashamed of all of this till I made friends with a girl from Pakistan who was like ‘no we all do that don’t worry’. So yeah there was no reason to lie about it. None at all. If I was her I would’ve said “yes I did have body hair, this is how I felt about it, I worked at a spa and was lucky enough to be offered laser for free/reduced price.” I don’t know anything about Sikhi - is there a reason she wouldn’t be allowed to say this? Like are you not allowed to remove hair?? But she already dates wears makeup and western clothes and moved out so I don’t believe there would be reason to lie about the hair thing even if it’s a forbidden thing because she’s already doing other forbidden things. She could’ve said “this is frowned upon with my religion but I grew up in a western place where removing body hair is the norm and I feel better without it”. Like. Why couldn’t she say that. Why lie. Especially if you know the lies can be found out because there is photographic evidence of you being lasered. I follow another girl on YT who is half Asian like me and she lasered bikini and underarms and she just made a joke of it. She was like “one of my friends said maybe I’ll regret it and I was just like no I don’t think I’m going to miss having hair down there” and it was straight up and straight forward. It’s the pointlessness of the lie that gets me because it implies she wants to seem better than because she didn’t have hair. Rather than ashamed because she could’ve just said “look guys I did remove my body hair and I don’t feel proud of it so let’s move on”.
