The youngest, Hardeep, cleared the UGC-NET for the second time in a row and is training her eyes on getting a JRF in Punjabi. Bikkar Singh, their father, said he was glad to see her daughters getting what they wanted. 'The sole credit is their hard work. Their own determination has led to their success," he said.
