The duo stole the limelight while their parents were beaming with pride.Tejaswini, who stood first in M.Com, is the daughter of Chandrappa N and Rukmini.

Everyone is recognising me as if I’m the star which makes me and my parents proud. This is the best example to show that dreams come true with efforts, and hardwork always pays off. One of the biggest advantage that I got is support from teachers in the university,” Tejaswini told TNIE. Tejaswini is currently working at Jain Degree College. She now wants to get into research and secure PhD if she clears NET/SLET.

Amruta says her inspiration is former president Dr APJ Abdul Kalam. It was his motivational speeches that encouraged her, she said.
