Earlier he had to face much criticism for bringing his daughters to his shop but later people started understanding him and appreciating the girls for their commitment and hard work.

Naseeb Jamal said that when he started taking his first two daughters with him to the shop at the age of 4 to 6, people started talking. The grandmother of the girls herself said that it was against the tradition and it was not good for the girls to sit in the shop. The intentions of the girl did not diminish and they developed a passion for repairing electrical appliances. Soon the girls became proficient in repairing electrical appliances.

Naseeb Jamal made two eldest daughters sit at home when they reached the age of 13 to 14 years, after they had mastered the work of electrician, the third and fourth daughters also followed in their sisters’ footsteps and learned the electrician’s work.
