Ah I see. I think had I not met her in person all those years ago at that event I wouldn't have known she was Punjabi - let alone Sikh - and she definitely doesn't look like any Pashtun I've met (and there's a LOT of Afghans from all ethnic groups where I am). She doesn't know any of the wider cultural nuances - even my cousins who are half white and half Afghan still have that cultural familiarity in dress, language, music, food etc.
I think it's sad that she distances herself so much from what is a very vibrant and strong heritage, and similarly, is so out of touch with the society and culture. It must make for a very lonely existence.
@classytikkamasala is right in saying she wears more Pakistani clothing than what Tristin is wearing (that's what I've always seen Punjabi clothing look like - on a side note she is so radiantly beautiful!)
I always felt people are on their own journeys when it comes to culture and faith, but with Irum I genuinely think she's lost and there isn't a way back now. I did used to feel sorry for her, but then her narcissism, compulsive lying, manipulative behaviour and sheer hubris makes any concern rapidly disappear. I think she'd benefit heaps from therapy and getting off social media.
My goodness..I really hope for her own sake that she hasn't had to endure such a thing
@truth33 - it's a very very difficult decision and emotionally distressing choice to make/experience.
LOL I know right
@gossipgirl59 - I sat there like: "who knew...instead of earning my Ph.D, all I had to do was wear a pair of glasses!?" She hasn't just innovated the hair washing experience, but the entire education system. Welcome to the Erim Academy: all you need is a pair of glasses
She makes such a mockery of education...it's astounding...
