A 41-year-old mother has revealed how she is often mistaken
for her son's girlfriend – or sister – because she looks so young.
Shimmi Munshi is the envy of all her friends and family, who
believe she has discovered the secret of eternal youth.
Single mum Shimmi, from Bolton, said: 'As an adult, I've always looked young. As my friends began ageing, I seemed to go in the opposite direction, but I've no idea why.
'As a teenager, I was one of the taller ones, so if anything, I looked a little older than my friends. But at 5'5', I stopped growing, and I had a very slim, petite frame.'
At 20, Shimmi gave birth to Ameen, her only son, who is now 20 and even as a teenager she was mistaken for his girlfriend.
'I was a single mum, juggling work and motherhood, and anyone would think the stress might have started to show. Instead, I seemed to stop ageing,' she revealed.
I didn't notice it particularly, but all my friends did. They were all moaning that I'd discovered the secret of eternal youth and they wanted me to share it.
'At the school-gates, the other mums would ask if I'd had plastic surgery, or if I had spent a fortune on skin creams and beauty treatments.
