Additional Information
General
TAEKWONDO TO WEIGHTLIFTING
When she switched to weightlifting from taekwondo she initially had doubts about her ability to pursue weightlifting due to the financial cost of the sport. "I had to quit taekwondo due to my short height. I didn't face any kind of pressure [financially] while playing taekwondo as the sport doesn't require much of monetary investment. However, I had to think several times before switching to weightlifting as it requires financial input for supplements and other stuff. I thought my parents can't afford the expense of my training, but somehow they managed." (firstpost, 11 Aug 2022; timesofindia, 01 Aug 2022)
OCCUPATION
