The 23-year-old who considers civil service her 'true passion' says modelling is her 'hobby'. Sheoran prepared for her exams by keeping herself up to date with current affairs.

Elaborating on how she prepared for the civil service exams, she said: “The Internet proved to be the biggest boon in my preparation. From books, old interviews to current affairs and newspapers, everything is easily available on the Internet. I started my basic preparations from there only. I chose only one book for a topic and revised it repeatedly. Strategy holds the key in UPSC preparation.”
