The coronavirus situation back home in Jaipur forced Apurvi to change her plans and focus on training. “We will have a week of quarantine on return from home. It would have been a long break. I am using new gear after streamlining my food. I am getting used to it. So, I thought it was important to continue training and stay in that mode,” she said.
