"I thought that since I had always been good at academics, I should maybe take a break for a year or two and give civil services a try because it had always been my dream. I had to switch off my phone, social media, everything, to focus on the exam and the result is here," The Times Of India quoted Aishwarya adds that she did not take any coaching and prepared for a year.

The thought of joining the Indian Army also crossed her mind many times, inspired by her father, Colonel Ajay Kumar, who is a Commanding Officer of NCC Telangana Battalion, Karimnagar.

Speaking to the media, Sheoran said even though there are opportunities for a woman to grow in the army, they are still limited. However, in civil services, there are endless opportunities and no limit for a woman's achievement.

The results of the Civil Services Exam, 2019, were announced by the Union Public Service Commission on 4 August.
