Rooted in Her Culture and Family Support
Rajsmita’s family, originally from Tripura, has always taken immense pride in their cultural roots. Her parents believe that the values and traditions she was raised with have played a significant role in shaping her discipline and commitment. Her mother, Debasmita Dutta, who is herself musically inclined, shared that Rajsmita has been humming tunes and showing an interest in classical music since she was a toddler.
“We are overjoyed, but more than anything, we feel proud that our daughter has represented Tripura and made the state shine on such a big platform,” said Debasmita. “This victory is not just ours—it belongs to every Tripura resident who prayed for her, supported her, and blessed her throughout this journey.”
