livelihood
When she was 7 years old, she participated in the Under-10 State Championship held in Kannur, Kerala. Her performance in doubles at the national level was better than in singles, so she decided to move to the doubles category in the sport. Talking about this during an interview, he said,
In singles, my performance at the state level was good, but at the national level I would reach the semi-finals only once or twice a year, there was no consistency. I was performing better in doubles.”
To continue her training in badminton, she joined Pullela Gopichand Badminton Academy, Hyderabad in 2020. At the academy, her coach Arun Vishnu and former Indian badminton player Pullela Gopichand paired her with Gayatri Gopichand (badminton player) for women’s doubles.

When I started, hardly anyone played this game in my village. When my father started encouraging me and my sister to play badminton, many people questioned him. Many people suggested that it is of no use and no one from our field will be able to make a career in it. But my father paid no attention to it and kept training us and gave his full support.”

In terms of career goals I am more focused on doubles right now and the aim is to try and qualify for the next Olympics in 2024.

I am very grateful to my parents and my family.
