Compared to her brother, Ayesha is evidently a little known and is doing fine without any attention whatsoever. She was also following a different path until Hasan talked about meeting her in one of his skits. Let us now get to know more about this mysterious lady.
Ayesha Minhaj: Early Life and Education
Ayesha is the younger sister to her elder brother Hasan. She was born to parents Najeme and Seema who were , from Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India in 1989. However, the Muslim family later immigrated to California before Ayesha was born. Whilst her father was a chemist in California, her mother was a medical student. Hasan was born right in California and was raised there for the most part. Seema, however, had to move back to India to complete her medical school. So she went back to her home country and Najeme too would go on to visit his wife. She was then conceived and born in India. Seema after 8 long years of studying returned back to the States with Ayesha to rejoin the family.
Now coming to her academics, Ayesha has graduated from the University of California, LA with a bachelor’s degree in Political Science. As per reports, she was an amazing student and her parents were extremely proud of her. She next joined the University of Pennsylvania Law School and graduated with a Doctor of Law.

Hasan was 8 when he first got to meet his baby sister. Hasan has shared the entire experience on one of his stand up shows- he says that “they brought her in like it was Maury for immigrants.”
Ayesha and Hasan’s father made the announcement with a card that said, “Hasan, the results are in… you are a brother!”.
