Rizwan, the father of Iqra Rizwan Warsi was a painter who used to do spray painting earlier. He lost his job during Covid, when he started selling masks near hospitals. The expenses of the house go on with these earnings.

According to Iqra, mother Tarannum Warsi is a homemaker who always boosted morale.

Iqra said that “The financial condition of the house is not good. The situation was even more difficult during the Covid period. Mother used to stitch masks. My Father Rizwan used to sell them outside hospitals. Even now the situation has not changed much.”

We are four siblings, in which I am the eldest. Three siblings are younger than me. I am pursuing masters, my parents have supported me a lot. My Parents struggled in every way and studied and today i am gold medalist.

Iqra’s father said that, “I sell masks and sometimes other items by hawking to make arrangements for the livelihood of the children. Now the son has also started doing a private job, which earns him Rs 4,000 a month.” Somehow, two-time livelihood and children’s education fees are arranged.”
