"My parents supported me in every way and with their support, I am the first teenage professional off-road car racer of Kashmir," Monisa stated.

She added, "Apart from the preparation for Indian administrative service (IAS) exams I want to do something different in off-road car racing so that's why I started participating in off-road car racing events that are very challenging for a teenage girl like me."
