In a resurfaced 2017 interview, she revealed her deep-rooted military lineage, noting her great-grandmother fought alongside Rani Laxmi Bai. A Gujarat native, Colonel Qureshi holds a postgraduate degree in biochemistry and served with UN peacekeeping forces. Her father, Taj Mohammed Qureshi, expressed immense pride in her.
