Shumaila, who sells peanuts, sunflower seeds, and other snacks in Lower Dir, revealed in the video that she speaks six languages, a talent she attributes to her father, who speaks 14 languages himself. “I don’t go to school; my father teaches me at home,” she said confidently.
A poised and articulate young seller
In one video, Zeeshan asks Shumaila to introduce herself, to which she replies with remarkable poise. She then charmingly pitches her products: “I am selling peanuts and sunflower seeds. Tell me if you want to buy something.”
Another clip gives viewers a glimpse into her personal life, where Shumaila claims she has five mothers and 30 siblings, a revelation that left viewers both amused and intrigued.
