While stating her reasons to pursue a career in Civil Services during her Mock Interview, Shruti Sharma said,
I believe I have had a certain privileged background, therefore, I always wanted to do something in which I could give back to society in some way…Secondly, I believe that on a personal level the diversity and the scope that these services provide can be an avenue for great personal growth and an avenue for learning a lot.”
In her interview, she also revealed that she had tried to learn Urdu.

While addressing the media, Shruti’s maternal grandmother revealed that she wanted Shruti’s mother, Rachna, to qualify the Civil Services Examination.
