K. Priyanka's story is a fight to keep her passion alive against all odds. The young girl from Coimbatore won a silver medal at the Commonwealth girls under-18. That clearly shows her talent. However, finances are a big problem for Priyanka. She is a single parent child and her mother doesn't have a fixed income. Her father passed away in an accident a few years ago.

When Priyanka makes a decision to play a tournament, the first thing that comes to her mind is how are we going to manage the finances. In many events the money is arranged on the last day and she is not sure whether she will make it to the tournament or not. As Priyanka puts it, "I have cancelled many more tournaments, than what I have played."

In spite of all the difficulties, she always has a smile on her face. She is lively and doesn't like to share her problems with the world. Priyanka is an epitome of positivity and she is also an example of how someone should never give up on their dreams.
