Backstory
'Thought why not a normal girl can ride a horse'
But why horse riding?
"One of my friends said riding horse isn't that easy. It's not possible for girls to do that. He said it's only possible for women like Jhansi Ki Rani. I thought why not a normal girl can ride a horse," Krishna said.
Her father then got her a small white horse and after years of practice, she's now a pro.
