Two albino sisters have caused an uproar in the home country of Kazakhstan, raising a question about who their real father was. Kamila and Asel Kalaganova were given birth to 12 years apart and currently, they are both in high demand as models in their homeland.

Recently, Kamila clocked two and her elder sister is aged 14, but their brother Aldiyar, 8, has a more conventional Kazakh personality.

‘People are startled that we are albino. Many people do not know what albinos are.’ Asel said.

Aiman Sarkitova, 38, Asel’s mother was equally shocked when she was born and doctors had almost caused a scandal stating Asel had a Russian father.

Asel at aged ten started modeling, but Kamila’s arrival ignited more interest and the young teen now has over 23,800 followers.

‘When I gave birth to the eldest, genetics was not so developed with us. It’s presently developing. The doctors were shocked and believed she was Russian. Then I started reading about the subject matter and discovered my children are albinos.’ Aiman explained.

She continued: ‘At the initial, everyone was shocked and startled. I didn’t know to do myself, how to live.’

On the other hand, the girls are conscious of staying out of the sunlight and importantly, it turned there were albinos among their ancestors. 

'If I go outside in the afternoon, I definitely have to apply sunscreen, put on clothes, headgear or even an umbrella to protect my skin'

Asel added: If I go outside in the afternoon, I definitely have to apply sunscreen, put on clothes, headgear or even an umbrella to protect my skin. In the evening where there is almost no sun, it becomes easier.’ 

Asel was enrolled in a special school for handicapped children but was later changed to a regular school

The girls, however, have eye problems and Asel is presently wearing glasses. When she was younger, Asel was enrolled in a special school for handicapped children but was later changed to a regular school. 

Ms. Sarkitova said the girls' brother questioned why he looked so different from his siblings

‘She studies perfectly well. And Albinos don’t differ much from other children- their hair, skin color, eyelashes, and eyes. At first, it was difficult as children stared at her. Now she feels so good and we don’t limit her to anything.’ Aiman added.
