After her mother passed away, Indira enrolled briefly in the badminton school before enrolling at Oxford as she had failed its entrance exam.
She then passed in the second attempt and enrolled for graduation in history from Oxford University. At that time, Feroze and Indira were in touch and met frequently. Feroze was studying at London School of Economics. Indira liked the honesty and conviction of Feroze and found all the qualities in him to be her true soul mate.
