Next year i.e 2020, she had 2 more gold medals in her account in National Cadet Championship at Patna and National School Games.
Soon after her massive victory in Budapest, people took social media by storm to congratulate her. Bengal CM Mamta Banerjee, Smriti Irani, Akhilesh Yadav, and Kareena Kapoor Khan, were among them.
