In a Facebook post shared by Param Kalyan Singh, he wrote, "After the journey started, I asked her that, your tone is that of an educated person, what's your educational background? I was surprised, and you guys will be too. She has done BTech (Electrical). She worked for six years in various companies. Then her father died in 2020, leaving behind her, her mom, and a younger sister. She found all suitable jobs required her to shift out of Kolkata. She didn't want to do that and leave her mom and sister alone. She took a courageous decision to get a commercial driving license as she knew how to drive already. Bought an Alto and started driving for Uber in 2021."
He further informed that she is happy with her profession. She works six days a week for up to seven hours and earns around ₹40,000.
