Biography
Started: "Before the [COVID-19 pandemic] lockdown in 2020, we came to know about Para badminton through my dad's colleague who was a Para badminton state player." (thebespokediaries.com, 15 Feb 2023)
Reason: "My favourite sport used to be cricket as my brother is a district player and my dad too is a cricket lover. [After watching badminton during the 2016 Olympic Games] I started admiring the game and the players. At this time a few of my street mates including my brother joined a badminton academy and I was sent to a classical dance school to learn Bharatanatyam. Somehow after so many days of waiting, I got my day to play badminton." (thebespokediaries.com, 15 Feb 2023)
Ambition: To win gold at the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris. She also aspires to run her own badminton academy. (Paralympic India Facebook page, 25 Feb 2024; thebridge.in, 30 Dec 2023; Ageas Federal Quest for Fearless Shuttlers Facebook page, 10 Mar 2023)
