In an interview, Bharti recalled the difficult days of her childhood and said that the condition of her family had become so bad that they did not even have money to eat. In such a situation, the leftover food of others became the means of filling the stomach for the family. Seeing the hard work of her mother and her sacrifice for the children, Bharti decided that she would do something big for her mother and be successful in life. Bharti, who suffered from poverty in her childhood, never gave up. She completed her studies and also won a gold medal in rifle shooting in college.
