The given sentence is of ‘Active voice’.

The sentence is said to be in active voice when `Subject’ is active & does something.

In the given sentence, the subject is `Sheetal’ and the subject performs

Passive voice – If the sentence is in passive form, the subject remains inactive. It does

nothing, but allows something to be done.
