UP Board Topper Prachi Nigam Brushes Off Trolls: 'I Will Focus On My Studies'
Prachi Nigam talked about the importance of awareness about hormonal imbalances, which can lead to facial hair growth, and appreciated those who came forward to support her.
Prachi Nigam, the class 10 topper of the Uttar Pradesh Board examinations, bravely responded to online trolling she faced after her achievement was overshadowed by comments about her facial hair. Despite the negativity, she remains undeterred, expressing gratitude to her supporters, saying she would focus on her studies rather than paying attention to those comments.
In an interview, Nigam addressed the trolls, stating, “When the UP results were announced, my picture went viral; many people trolled me. At the same time, there were those who supported me. I want to thank everyone.”
“However, God has made me, I am okay with it. For those who feel there is a difference, it doesn’t matter. Even Chanakya was trolled, and he did not care. Similarly, I also don’t care and will focus on my studies,” she further asserted.
Speaking to BBC, Nigam shared her perspective on the situation, saying, “If I had a few fewer marks, I would not have topped and got famous. Maybe that would have been better. I don’t care much about the situation because I have been facing this for a long time. People see girls with hair and feel weird about it because they have not seen this before.”
She further talked about the importance of awareness about hormonal imbalances, which can lead to facial hair growth, and appreciated those who came forward to support her.

Nigam’s mother, Mamta, expressed concern over the trolling her daughter faced, stating, “When people trolled her, I felt bad about it. Many people said bad things about her. We told Prachi not to let it weigh on her mind”.
Similarly, Nigam’s father conveyed his sadness regarding the trolling his daughter endured, advocating for support rather than ridicule towards students achieving remarkable achievements.
