They do.
Their paired-ness refers to energy level in orbitals.
It has nothing to do with their "holding hands" and physically existing adjacent to one another.

Actually it is not so that electrons are arranged in pairs in the shells of an atom.
It is for our own convenience as well as our examiner's, that we draw a diagram of an atom with electrons in pairs.

they r in pairs because different orbitals should have different no electrons they should repel each other but they r attracted by nucules of an atom it is called electrostics force of attraction..

Yes they do, they have two opposite magnetic spins that eliminate each other, if there is a spin where is not eliminated the atom seems to have magnetic properties.
