“My friends are pulling my leg over my marks,” he adds when asked about his friends’ reactions.

A low scorer in maths, Sharma sought extra classes from his maths teacher before the boards.

“I used to score 60-65% in my pre-boards. But my maths teacher Ajay Julka ji pushed me to score high. He arranged extra classes for me at the end and motivated me to stay confident,” Sharma said.
