Just adding an alternative to @Paul's answer, I found this link, it seems feasible, but anyways, considering it is a critical operation, I would strongly advise you to make Backup first, it is crucially necessary if you have valuable data in the disk. That said, here's the link: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/resize-linux-partition-safely/ Best of luck, @Shobhit : )

I have never tried it. And would search on Google for a question like this.
