She is a wonder girl at the age of 10 years. Her body is so flexible and I was surprised by her performance. Literally, I was running behind her. Because of her sincere effort and hard work, she was able to achieve this task.”

At a tender age, we have taught her with the help of YouTube videos. She is now getting trained under Ramakrishna Kodancha. Let she is a model to Karnataka. As parents, we are overwhelmed and speechless. She is a proud daughter of us and Udupi as well. Her effort will continue and we will keep supporting her all activities.”

Former minister Pramod Madhwaraj congratulated her and said, “Sky is the limit for her. She is a dynamic, blessed, innocent, simple, and humble. We are very small in front of her number of achievements. All Gods have blessed her. She will achieve even more history in days to come.”
