4 Attempts. 5 Years. One Dream. UPSC Topper Aarushi Sharma | Josh Talks #motivation
Aarushi Sharma’s journey to becoming a UPSC topper is a story of resilience, heartbreak, and unbelievable courage.
In her very first attempt at the Civil Services Examination 2019, Aarushi failed the UPSC Prelims by 7 marks. It was a devastating setback — one that neither she nor her family had expected. For weeks, she found herself crying, questioning her abilities, and struggling to cope with the emotional weight of failure.
There was a time when she told her mother, “Mom, I just want to be okay. I don’t care about the result.”
That phase became the darkest year of her life.
But what changed everything was her support system — her mother and her close friends, Sapoorva and Major Shan — who stood by her unconditionally. Their belief in her slowly helped Aarushi rebuild her confidence, regain her focus, and return stronger than ever.
Over 5 long years and 4 attempts, Aarushi faced repeated failures, self-doubt, pressure, and emotional breakdowns. Yet she refused to quit. With discipline, a powerful mindset, and consistent preparation, she finally achieved her dream of cracking one of India’s toughest exams — the UPSC Civil Services Examination.
In this deeply honest Josh Talk, Aarushi shares:
• How she handled repeated UPSC failures
• The emotional struggles behind preparation
• The importance of mental strength and support systems
• Her study strategies and preparation approach
• How to turn setbacks into stepping stones
This talk is not just about clearing UPSC — it’s about surviving failure, protecting your mental health, and finding the courage to start again.
If you are a UPSC aspirant, a student dealing with failure, or someone going through a difficult phase in life, this story will remind you that setbacks do not define you — your comeback does.
Watch till the end for practical insights that can help you in your UPSC journey.
