No fixed hours of study

Shailee Gadekar: I didn't start studying until late January, but once I did start, I put my all into whatever I did. I studied for about four hours a day. It's not always only about studying or devoting 10 hours of your day to studying, it's usually all about the balance that you create. My best teachers guided me to achieve the highest potential, which helped me just as much as self-studying.

My primary goal in life is to effect positive change by promoting inclusivity and acceptance of all groups that are shunned from society. My passion lies in a creative profession that gives me room to be inventive regularly. I long for the thrill that comes with waking up to new hurdles and prospects every morning. My hobbies consist of painting, literature, social interaction, cultural exploration, and musical discovery. My parents are Dr Manoj Gadekar and Dr Swati Gadekar. Both of them are doctors.
