Many laughed at her dream, but today she managed to become state's first women commercial pilot. Meet 23-year-old Twinkle Nagdive, daughter of a forest official here in Chhattisgarh who got a placement in Indigo Airlines and all set to rock the sky.
Twinkle is no more a little star in Raipur. The number of guests flocking her home has went all time high after the last wedding that took place in the family. Hailing from a middle class family, Twinkle Nagdive, with her sheer determination and hard work, entered the male-dominated field and claimed to have become the first female from the tribal state of Chhattisgarh to get the commercial pilot licence.
Former students of DPS in Raipur, Nagdive dreamt of flying aircraft since her school days. "When I was in school, I used to collect pictures of aircrafts and use to think about an aircraft flies.
