Scores 96% in her CBSE XII exam
She along with her family was caught in the midst of media frenzy right when she entered Class XII. But for former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s daughter Harshita, ‘focus’ and a ‘strong will’ are the steps leading to the silver lining. Scoring 96 per cent from Delhi Public School, Noida, she believes limelight is not permanent but a ‘determination to do something’ is the only constant.
Congratulatory messages poured in as soon as Harshita got her results early in the morning on Thursday even as a number of leaders and workers rushed to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Kejriwal’s home at Tilak lane. With a wide smile and a twinkle in her eyes she softly said, “I am satisfied with my marks. I am happy that I scored the best in my favourite subject - Physics.” She was a science student.
When asked about the constant paparazzi due to her father’s plunge into politics, she replied of being unperturbed by all the limelight. “Whenever there used to be meetings and other party gatherings, I used to go to my aunt’s home to study. Basically, focus is the main thing. If we have a will to do something then we can achieve all our dreams,” said Harshita.
like her father, she too wants to be an engineer and get into nothing else but Indian Institute of Technology (IIT). “I want to be an engineer only and my aim is to do it from IIT. I have been preparing for IIT-JEE exam since the past two years. I have appeared for the exam the results for which are awaited,” she said. Firm in her decision, she opined that in case she didn’t get through an IIT, she would prefer dropping a year and re-appearing for it.
Her mother Sunita smiled throughout and said, “I am happy that she has done well. She is a focused child and I am proud of her.” After meeting scores of well-wishers at her home, she left for a car drive with her grand mother in the afternoon and later in the evening, met with her friends.
