She began playing bridge at age 10. In 1985 she took a break from work and started focusing on the sport. "I became seriously interested in the game around 1985. I had just stopped working and I started playing bridge with a group of players who were way better than me. I got involved in high and duplicate bridge, and met a few professional players playing for the country who told me that I had the potential to go professional. Motivated by their comments, I started playing ladies bridge. I played my first world championship in 1987."

She was introduced to bridge by her father, Naresh Tandan. "I actually started playing bridge as a child. We used to play in the family." (telegraphindia, 30 Aug 2019; HCL Twitter profile, 15 Mar 2018)
:
"Bridge sharpens your intellectual capabilities and power of thinking, and helps you see things from different aspects. It's a mind game like chess but much more strategic because bridge is a team game and depends considerably on the subtleties of communication." (hindustantimes, 08 Dec 2018)

OTHER ACTIVITIES
She is a trustee of the Shiv Nadar Foundation, and chairperson of the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art in New Delhi, India. "Art, also, I am very passionate about. I have no background in art, but I started collecting to decorate my private residence and became very enthused. Once the house was full, I was just putting the work into storage, and that didn't feel right. My husband and I have a lot of philanthropic projects, and I thought, well, an art museum is also an act of philanthropy, let's do it. We are trying to build an interest for art among the people from a very nascent level. India has had such a rich cultural heritage. I think we need to revive it."
