The daughter of a farmer father and a housewife mother, 27-year-old Priyal Yadav comes from an agrarian middle-class background and was a academic prodigy since her early years, but shocking failed to pass the Class 11 examination after she was pressured to opt for the non-medical stream after passing her Class 10 exams.
“I was a class topper till Class 10. However, due to pressure from relatives, I opted for physics, chemistry and mathematics in Class 11 despite lack of interest in these subjects and failed physics,” Priyal told news agency PTI.
