==Early life and career==
Bishnoi, who is also known as Kiran Godara, was born to Kuldeep Godara and Sunita Godara in Rawat Khera village of [[Hisar district]], [[Haryana]]. She spent her childhood at her maternal grandparents' home in Kalirawan village of Hisar district. Her maternal grandfather Ramswaroop Khichad Kalirawna was a wrestler, and he used to take her with him for wrestling practice. This led to development of her interest in the sport. After the death of her grandfather in 2010, she returned to her parental home in [[Hisar (city)|Hisar]], and started practicing wrestling at [[Mahabir Stadium]] under the guidance of her coach Vishnu. She missed the trials of [[2014 Commonwealth Games]] due to a career-threatening knee injury. After eventually recovering from the injury, she became national champion in 2015. She also won [[Bharat Kesri Dangal]] title in 2016, and was finalist of the event in 2015.<ref name="Chander, 2018">{{cite news |last1=Chander |first1=Subash |title=नाना के साथ पहलवानी कर रेसलर बनी किरण, एक अॉपरेशन ने बचाया था कैरियर |url=https://www.bhaskar.com/harayana/panipat/news/commonwealth-games-2018-bronze-medalist-wrestler-kiran-story-5850441.html |accessdate=18 August 2018 |work=[[Dainik Bhaskar]] |date=12 April 2018 |archiveurl=https://archive.today/20180818194711/https://www.bhaskar.com/harayana/panipat/news/commonwealth-games-2018-bronze-medalist-wrestler-kiran-story-5850441.html |archivedate=18 August 2018 |language=Hindi |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="Jargran, 2018">{{cite news |title=ऑस्ट्रेलिया में चमकी हिसार की किरण, कॉमनवेल्थ में कुश्ती में जीता कांस्य पदक |url=https://www.jagran.com/haryana/hisar-kiran-godara-won-the-brounze-medal-in-commanwelth-in-austrelia-17816477.html |accessdate=18 August 2018 |work=[[Dainik Jagran]] |date=13 April 2018 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20180818191013/https://www.jagran.com/haryana/hisar-kiran-godara-won-the-brounze-medal-in-commanwelth-in-austrelia-17816477.html |archivedate=18 August 2018 |language=Hindi |url-status=live}}</ref><ref name="Bharat Kesari">{{cite news |title=नाना की पहलवानी के किस्से सुन किरण ने सीखे दांव, अब बनी भारत केसरी |url=https://www.bhaskar.com/harayana/hisar/news/HAR-HIS-OMC-kiran-win-bharat-kesari-title-news-hindi-5469228-NOR.html |accessdate=18 August 2018 |work=Dainik Bhaskar |date=28 November 2016 |archiveurl=https://archive.today/20180728060300/https://www.bhaskar.com/harayana/hisar/news/HAR-HIS-OMC-kiran-win-bharat-kesari-title-news-hindi-5469228-NOR.html |archivedate=28 July 2018 |language=Hindi |url-status=live }}</ref>
