Additionally, she revealed that while preparing for the exam, she would take one day off every week to relax and hang out with her friends.

According to Hindustan Times, Dr. Arushi comes from a family of medical professionals. Her mother, Dr. Riya Narwani, is a professor of anatomy at Jaipur’s Sawai Man Singh Medical College, while her father, Dr. Sanjay Narwani, is an ear, nose, and throat surgeon. Although she did not consider a career in medicine as a child, Dr. Arushi ultimately chose to pursue it after falling in love with biology in the 12th grade.

Dr. Arushi discussed her NEET-PG 2023 preparation, stating that she began studying in 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown and primarily studied at home.
