At the tender age of 11, Jhansi, alongside her devoted mother, embarked on a transformative journey to the United States in 1977, seeking both solace and opportunity in a foreign land. This pivotal moment instilled in her a profound sense of resilience and adaptability that would later define her extraordinary career.
