During her amateur and latest matches, the young girl had a journey of triumphs making it to the top 10 amongst the coveted Hero Order of Merit. Though WGAI allows just 10 girls from the order of merit in Hero Women's India Open, Khushi carved her way to success, securing a spot in the tournament. With her achievements, Khushi has definitely propelled the prospects of scripting her name among the top players of the game. It is remarkable that Khushi missed the top spot in the pro circuit during her rookie year just by small margins and finished being the runners-up.
Her tryst with the sport of golf has been supported by her father and he thinks that girl would garner greater accomplishments in the future. Reportedly, Khushi has succeeded in Army Ladies & Junior Girls Championship 2017, Albatross Junior Golf Tournament 2017, IGU Western India Ladies & Junior Championship 2017 amongst a list of multiple events.
