Upon watching Marry Kom boxing in the ring, Andleeb decided to join boxing and started taking classes at the indoor stadium from professional coaches. Andleeb credits her parents and friends for the overwhelming support she has been getting and encouraging her to take part in the sport. "My family supported me. In fact my family and fervidness were very happy with my decision," Andleeb said. She says that studies and sports need a harmonious balance which is pertinent to lead a healthy life. "I don't think it would have any negative impact on studies. I reckon sports and education carry equal importance. It is necessary to have a healthy life," Andleeb said.
