She says that she utilized the time she got during the coronavirus lockdown for self-studying. Thanking her tuition teacher Jeet, she informed that he would come to her home every day even during the lockdown to teach her. Jeet used to give his mobile phone to her so that she could attend online classes and access study materials online, she said.

“It was an extremely difficult life during the lockdown period, still my father (Chunni Lal) encouraged me to study even as it was extremely difficult for him to earn money. I want to prepare for civil service examination and become district magistrate one day,” she added.
