Bhawana told Kashmir Life that despite facing financial constraints, her parents stood by her side, ensuring she received the education she deserved.
Bhawana studied BA LLB from Punjab University after completing her schooling.
Living near the Line of Control (LoC) did not deter Bhawana from pursuing her dreams, reported Kashmir Life.
