Same is the thought process of Soumya Uppal who aspires to further her education at the prestigious St. Stephens College in Delhi, in economics.
When enquired about the recipe to a national level success, Sukriti mentioned that her strength was she realized that she had her own human limitations. She emphasized on the need of having leisure time for isolation periods to escape from the monotonous and very stressful academic schedule at the highest level.
