While speaking to The Indian Express, she said, “ Since our classes were mostly online, that was the time when one has to keep themselves away from distractions. I was completely off social media. Just that WhatsApp was a necessity because a lot of study material was shared through that.”
Ravleen’s father is into real estate business while her mother is a headmistress in a government school. The family stays in Kharar. She added, “I want to do something different and I have interest in medical sciences as well. So I aim to become a forensic expert. It is a profession which involves both the mind and the heart.”
