Eveline has faced significant personal and financial challenges. Her father, Raja, tragically passed away in a road accident.

Eveline and her younger brother are currently being raised by their paternal grandmother, Mary – a 73-year-old woman who supports the family by working as a cook. Despite her advanced age and limited income, Mary is the sole caregiver and breadwinner for the two children. Eveline’s younger brother is currently attending school. In school, Eveline was an active member of the Bharat Scouts and Guides. She has achieved the prestigious Heerak Pankh and Rajya Puraskar awards. Her favourite subject is English. Eveline aspires to become a banker, a career she believes will allow her to achieve financial stability and support her family.
