I used to be embarrassed and shy when people used to call me names and make fun of me. I used to be hesitant and gave up on things thinking I would not be able to do it." Simran credited her husband-cum-coach Naik Gajendra Singh, who is also an officer in the Indian Army, for supporting her, saying:
"I never thought I would be pursuing athletics and sports as my career. I used to go to the ground just for fitness purposes.
