She is currently learning Kathak but believes that modelling is her passion. "I come from a community where gender inequality and other stereotypes are still into existence, so when I saw two primary choices in front of me, to either accept the conditions those were in existence or to take the responsibility for changing the same, I chose the latter one," said Suman during the pageant.
