Sitapur, April 24: Prachi Nigam, who topped the Class 10 UP Board examinations this year by securing 98.5 per cent marks, has finally responded to trollers who have been trolling her for her facial hair.

“Trollers can live with their mindset, I am happy that my success is now my identity,” she said on Wednesday. This is the first time that Prachi has responded to trollers. She said that all her attention was focused on her studies and no one ever pointed towards her excess facial hair. UP Board Results 2024: Uttar Pradesh Board Exam Results Announced, 89.55% Pass in Class 10, 82.60% Pass in Class 12.

“My family, my teachers, my friends never criticised me for my appearance and I never bothered about it either. It was only when my photograph was published after the results that people started trolling me and then my attention was drawn to the problem. My aim is to become an engineer and what will ultimately matter are my marks and not the hair on my face,” she said. UP Board Results 2024 Announced: Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath Congratulates Successful Candidates, Says ‘Blessings of Maa Sharada Always Remain Upon You’.
