During the lockdown, everyone got time to find themselves and if we will talk about Azka Bhat then it is really impressive that she developed an interest in calligraphy. She was totally unaware of calligraphy but she used to practice daily with simple sketch pens and brushes. Firstly, she began with simple/casual and the thing is that she was not sure whether she will be appreciated or not.

Actually, she was kinda intimidated of by negative responses but then her friends and family motivate her the most, they began to appreciate her work which made her stronger, and then she used to do more and more hard work for calligraphy.
