•Once battling chronic asthma, she overcame it through sheer determination and discipline, becoming her fittest self before stepping into the world of fitness professionally.

•Her dedication to fitness earned her four national-level achievements:
-2019: National record for holding a wall sit for 1 minute with 100 kg weight.
-2023: National records for 67 standard pushups in 1 minute and 55 decline pushups in 1 minute.
-2025: A dream come true — she was featured in the Limca Book of Records for being the only Indian woman to perform the maximum number of pushups in one minute — a goal she had set back in her 7th grade.
