We feel sad for her as she was quite confident and had reached that level fighting against heavy odds," Shivaji Babar, her father said. Babar comes from a financially weak family from Satara district.

"In the absence of proper training facilities in the vicinity and due to hilly terrain, she faced plenty of hardships. She used to practice around the school in our village," said Babar.
