- In an interview, her father, Kailash Mishra, revealed that when Aishwarya showed interest in athletics, he fully supported her as he was also an athlete. He also shared how he managed to fund Aishwarya’s training fees and studies. He said,
I was a district-level Kabaddi player and pushed Aishwarya into athletics when she showed an interest in sport. Over the years we have sold off a small piece of land back in UP. I sold my room in Mira Road, mortgaged my wife’s mangalsutra, and took loans from friends to make sure Aishwarya’s training or studies of my other two kids didn’t suffer. She has made India and Maharashtra proud. I am happy about it.”
