Reason: She was involved in several other sports before she began to focus on shooting Para sport. “I found that it was very difficult for girls like me to get out, especially if you are physically challenged. Which sport should I pursue, who will support me, will there be facilities to make me comfortable? These questions were there but I made up my mind to start in athletics. I did powerlifting. I am also the founder member of India’s female Para volleyball team. I believe one has to try new things.” (news.cgtn.com, 27 Oct 2023)
