When asked about her role models, Shubhangi says she considers her parents as her role models who supported her at every step of her life. She also views every female as an inspiration because everyone has their own struggles, their perspective for life, which inspires her a lot.

To calm herself, Shubhangi meditates and practices kundalini yoga.
