She is a student of B.Com final year but lack of funds have forced her to leave the ‘expensive’ sport and sell noodles from a cart in order to earn a living and support her family as well. She has hung her shiny medals on the food stall which shows, if given chance in future she could get many more for India. But Pushpa discontinued her practice as the rifles which is needed for shooting are very expensive and her family could not afford it.
