Ananya, daughter of Sashi Bhushan, deputy general manager (DGM) in BHEL (Haridwar), and Deepam, a housewife, aspires to become a doctor.

"Since childhood I wanted to become a doctor. I have given Pre-Medical Tests (PMTs) and I am hoping to secure MBBS seat in one of the colleges. I want to support ailing people of the country," Ananya told Hindustan Times.

Regular studies and focus, she says, helped her score so high in her exams. Talking about her daily schedule, Ananya claims that she used to study only for three hours every day, and for just up to four hours during the exam days. However, she also used to take breaks in between by listening to music and treating herself to junk food.
