While the JEE Main 2026 results are being celebrated across the country, the story of Bhubaneswar’s twin brothers Mahroof and Masroor Ahmed Khan stands out not only for their identical scores but also for the extraordinary sacrifice behind their success.
Their mother, a trained gynecologist, made a life-changing decision when the twins entered Class 10. Recognising the intense preparation required for competitive exams, she stepped away from her medical career and relocated to Kota, Rajasthan, to stay with her sons. For nearly three years, she managed their daily routines, health, and emotional well-being, providing the stability needed to navigate the pressures of rigorous coaching and examinations.
The twins have openly credited their mother’s unwavering support as a key factor in their success. Their father also described her as the true pillar behind the achievement, noting that she dedicated herself entirely to ensuring the boys could focus on their studies.
Beyond ranks and percentiles, their journey highlights the often unseen sacrifices parents make to support their children’s dreams. The story serves as a reminder that academic success is frequently built not only on hard work and talent but also on the silent strength, resilience, and unconditional support of family.
