Taking on her family’s legacy, Rushna is the third person from her house to be commissioned in Pakistan Navy; her grandfather and father being the first two.

We have seen this tradition in Pakistan that males of the family are somehow obliged to take up the same profession as their fathers; especially in the military families. However, defying those stereotypes, sub-lieutenant, Arif, took it upon herself to carry forward the legacy of her family.
