Ritu Rathee, who has met famous people like in the world, belongs to a small village, Nindana in Haryana. She belongs to a Haryanavi Jatt family. In one of her YouTube interview, she shared a life story, and how she is from a family where daughters are killed even before birth. She has three sisters and a brother, who is youngest of them all.
Ritu once revealed that she had always been good in her studies. She also revealed that she wanted to study, and her parents knew, but they were under social pressure, as people would often ask them to stop their education. Her relatives kept taunting her parents for making her study. In fact, it was extremely difficult for her to convince her father to allow her to study abroad for two years for pilot training. But she stood her ground, and her father agreed. Ritu also revealed that the relatives stopped talking to her father, which left him depressed.
Ritu revealed that during her first job, she would drive on her brother's bike to her office in Delhi from Gurgaon. Her second job was in Ahmedabad, and she earned Rs. 25k per month. She wanted her parents to feel proud on her. And when she got a pilot job, her entire family, who would taunt her father, started stating 'Dekh maari chori hai jo pilot lag rahi hai (She is our daughter that is now a pilot).'
