She took up table tennis to lose weight. She was also encouraged to play by her mother, Nita. "She never played the sport in her time, so she saw herself as playing through me. That's why she forced me to start playing when I was six." (gc2018.com, 04 Jul 2017; indianexpress.com, 01 Apr 2021)

SUSPENSION AND RETURN
In January 2015 she was given a one-year suspension by the Table Tennis Federation of India [TTFI] for providing false information about her age in order to compete at junior tournaments, and was unable to attempt qualification for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. "I stopped watching the sport completely. I would be extremely hurt seeing the others play while I couldn't. For any athlete, sitting out for one year is a massive blow, and I was the number one female player in India at that time. I was hurt, mentally very low. For two months, I didn't want to play at all. Whenever I tried, memories would come rushing back. Every single moment of my career would flash in front of my eyes. Everyone told me, 'Your time will come, you will make a comeback'. Quite a few people were there to motivate me, which helped a lot. Of course, my parents are always there as my mentors, and Mihir [Ghosh, coach] supported me a lot during that period."
