Early life
They were born in Lahore, Pakistan to a poor musician's family and dropped out of education after primary school.
Sania said in an interview that they had been singing since childhood and that many family members also sing. They are related to the famous sub-continent singer Reshma, and their family originally migrated from Rajasthan. Other relatives include singers Naseebo Lal, Nooran Lal, and Farah Lal. They know all sorts of Pakistani and Bollywood songs but especially love Justin Bieber songs that touch their hearts. In particular, the song "Baby" is one of their favorites.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-31770510|title=Pakistan girls sing way to fame with Justin Bieber's Baby|work=BBC News|date=9 March 2015 }}{{cite web|url=http://www.samaa.tv/entertainment/23-feb-2015/int-l-media-lauds-samaa-for-discovering-justin-girls|title=Int'l media lauds Samaa for discovering Justin Girls|work=SAMAA|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150428054301/http://www.samaa.tv/entertainment/23-Feb-2015/int-l-media-lauds-samaa-for-discovering-justin-girls|archivedate=2015-04-28}}
