In a candid interview, India's rising soccer star Sree Charani spoke to EdexLive about her meteoric rise to fame, the pressures that come with it, and the purpose that drives her to keep pushing forward.
Charani, who recently made headlines for her impressive performance at the FIFA Women's World Cup, has been on a whirlwind journey since she first started playing football at the age of 10. "My parents saw how much I loved playing and encouraged me to pursue it," she recalls. "From there, I just worked hard and never gave up on my dreams."

However, with great success comes great pressure. Charani admits that she often feels the weight of expectation on her shoulders. "There are times when I feel overwhelmed, but I remind myself why I started playing in the first place – for the love of the game," she says.
