But with her help, I studied,' she added.While Samyuktha wants to chart her own path and not share a college with her mother, she remains the biggest reason her mum is finally pursuing the dream she once had to give up.'My husband was very supportive. He encouraged both of us to study,' said Amuthavalli.This unique NEET success story is all heart — proving that with the right push, old dreams can still take flight.(With PTI inputs)- Ends
