"I am very happy that she topped the CBSE examination. We were hoping that she will top in her school, but now we are very happy that she topped all India. We are very supportive of her and will support her further studies," said Rajesh Prakash Jain her father.
Seema Jain said her daughter deserved the honour considering that she had put in the hours to study.
"She deserves this. She used to study regularly. She used to follow a time table and I used to help her. I am happy for her. I am proud of my daughter."
Divanshi's elder sister Shreyanshi Jain said," It is her determination and hard work that gave her the results. I used to clear her doubts and help her in her studies."
