Ojasi told the Indian Express, “Since the beginning of the year I had decided that I want to score 100 per cent. So I studied keeping that in mind throughout the year. Till grade 8 I was in a full Marathi school, and then I was at a semi-English school”

Other than her studies, Ojasi also continued her Kathak and Harmonium classes even during her boards. She plans to pursue a career in science research, specifically in Biology.

Her father Amol is a PhD in Material Science and was working in the same field in Germany. After moving back to Pune, he and his wife made a conscious decision to enroll Ojasi in a semi-English school where she would be able to learn her mother tongue Marathi well. “It is very important to learn your mother tongue.”
