My parents, my family members, my brothers and sisters. Nupur and Gunjan my coaches. All the members of Gopichand academy right from coaches to physios. My prosthetists, my doctors those who operated on me. My caretakers, my housekeeping staff. There are so many I want to thank but I want to especially thank my sponsors who are financially funding me so well. I also want to thank BAI, SAI, the Government of India, the Government of Gujarat and the government of Maharashtra for their continued support."She once again won bronze at the Asian Para Games in Jakarta, Indonesia in 2018, but her journey took a big turn after she won the gold at the Para World Badminton Championship in 2019.
