She had a four-year-old daughter. After obtaining the initial licence, she persevered and completed one thousand hours of flying in the aircraft owned by the Lahore Flying Club. Her husband, P. D. Sharma,[5] whom she married at 16 and who came from a family which had nine pilots, encouraged her. While Sharma had been the first Indian to get his airmail pilot's license, flying between Karachi and Lahore, his wife would be the first woman in India to attain her "A" license, when she accumulated more than 1,000 hours of flying.[6] Tragically, Captain Sharma died in an airplane crash in 1939. After some time, his young widow tried to apply to train for her commercial pilot license, but World War II had begun and civil training was suspended. With a child to raise, and needing to earn her livelihood, Thakral abandoned her plans to become a commercial pilot, returning to Lahore and attending the Mayo School of Art where she trained in the Bengal school of painting, obtaining a diploma in fine arts. Thakral was a dedicated follower of the Arya Samaj, a spiritual community dedicated to following the teachings of the Vedas.[7] Within this community, remarriage was a possibility for Thakral. After the Partition of India, she moved to Delhi with her two daughters, where she met R. P. Thakral and married him in 1948. Sarla, also known as Mati, became a successful businesswoman, painter and began designing clothes and costume jewellery.[6] She died in 2008.[1][8][9] References1. ^1 {{Cite web|url=https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=hi&u=https://hindi.indiatvnews.com/india/national-first-lady-indian-pilot-704.html&prev=search|title=Sarla Thakral, in a clear sky|last=|first=|date=May 14, 2015|website=hindi.indiatvnews.com|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=2019-02-23}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Thakral, Sarla}}2. ^{{cite web| url=http://centennialofwomenpilots.com/sarla-thakral-india/| title=First National Pilot Licences: Sarla Thakral – India| date=2015-07-25| publisher=Institute for Women Of Aviation Worldwide| accessdate=2017-08-04}} 3. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.news18.com/photogallery/india/womens-day-top-100-coolest-women-of-all-time-787706.html| title=Women's Day: Top 100 coolest women of all time: 72/100| date=2011-03-08| publisher=CNN-IBN| accessdate=2017-08-04}} 4. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.ndtv.com/video/features/news/down-memory-lane-first-woman-pilot-recounts-life-story-6231| title=Down memory lane: First woman pilot recounts life story| date=2006-08-13| publisher=NDTV| accessdate=2017-08-04}} 5. ^{{Cite news| url=http://www.ntd.tv/inspiring/india-inspired-stories/in-1936-she-was-the-first-woman-pilot-to-enter-the-cockpit-in-a-saree.html| title=In 1936, she was the first woman pilot to enter the cockpit in a saree!| date=2017-09-16| publisher=NTDTV| accessdate=2017-10-25}} 6. ^1 {{cite web| url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2006/20060205/society.htm#1| title=Flying colours & ground reality| first=Smriti Kak| last=Ramachandran| date=2006-02-05| publisher=The Tribune| accessdate=2017-08-04}} 7. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.dnaindia.com/speak-up/report-remember-sarla-thakral-s-maiden-flight-of-fancy-1316073| title=Remember Sarla Thakral’s maiden flight of fancy| first=Jayant| last=Kulkarni| date=2009-11-25| publisher=Daily News and Analysis| accessdate=2017-08-04}} 8. ^{{cite web| url=https://vivchavan.wordpress.com/2007/10/17/indias-first-women-in-air-indias-first-lady-pilot-sarla-thakral/| title=India’s First women in air – India’s first lady pilot – Sarla Thakral| first=Vivek| last=Chavan| date=2007-10-17| accessdate=2017-08-04}} 9. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.the-south-asian.com/May-June2003/sarla_thakral__first_woman_pilot.htm| title=Sarla Thakral - India’s First Lady Pilot - Still Flying High| date=2003| first=Sanjay| last=Austa| archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20081226151434/http://www.the-south-asian.com/May-June2003/sarla_thakral__first_woman_pilot.htm| archivedate=2008-12-26| deadurl=yes| accessdate=2017-08-04}} 4 : Indian aviators|Aviation pioneers|1914 births|2008 deaths |
