Sristi Singh Guleria has shot her way to fame, claiming the coveted Gold Medal in the State Lawn Tennis Tournament. She shared that her passion for tennis ignited at the age of 11 when her father encouraged her to choose a “sport for life”. Despite having options like gymnastics, swimming, and figure skating, Sristi chose tennis as her lifelong love affair.
