Early life and background
Ranaut was born on 23 March 1987 at Bhambla (now Surajpur), a small town in the Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh, into a Rajput family. Her mother, Asha Ranaut, is a school teacher, and her father, Amardeep Ranaut, is a businessman. She has an elder sister, Rangoli, who now works as her manager, and a younger brother, Akshat. Her great-grandfather, Sarju Singh Ranaut, was a Member of the Legislative Assembly and her grandfather, was an IAS officer. She grew up in a joint family at their ancestral haveli in Bhambla, and has described her childhood as "simple and happy".
Ranaut has said that she was "stubborn and rebellious" while growing up: "If my father would gift my brother a plastic gun and get a doll for me, I would not accept that. I questioned the discrimination."She didn't subscribe to the stereotypes that were expected of her, and experimented with fashion from a young age: "I would pair up accessories and clothes that, to my neighbours, would seem just bizarre." Ranaut was educated at the DAV School in Chandigarh, where she pursued science as her core subject, remarking that she was "very studious" and "always paranoid about [...] results". She was initially inclined to become a doctor: "I was brought up being told that medicine was a noble choice of career, that I should grow up and be a doctor so I could treat the poor for free. I believed in that, wholeheartedly because that's how kids in those days were trained to 'be good and do good'." A failed unit test in chemistry during her twelfth grade led Ranaut to reconsider her career prospect, and despite preparing for the All India Pre Medical Test, she didn't turn up for the exam. Determined to find her "space and freedom", she relocated to Delhi at the age of sixteen. Her decision to not pursue medicine led to "constant arguments" with her parents and her father refused to sponsor her "aimless pursuit".
In Delhi, Ranaut was unsure of what career prospect to choose; the Elite Modelling Agency were impressed by her looks and suggested that she model for them. She took on a few modelling assignments, but generally disliked the career as she found "no scope for creativity" Ranaut, thus, decided to shift focus towards acting, and joined the Asmita Theatre Group, where she trained under the theatre director Arvind Gaur. She has said: "It's because of theatre that I'm so comfortable in films [...] Arvind was very kind. I went to him and said, I'm going to Bombay, and I need a sort of crash course in acting. So, he taught me acting specially, just for an hour everyday." She participated in Gaur's theatre workshop at the India Habitat Centre, acting in several of his plays, including the Girish Karnad-scripted Taledanda. During a screening, one of the male actors went missing; Ranaut who had been "observing the character from a distance and had an idea about the dialogues and body language" played the part along with her original role of a woman. A positive reaction from the audience prompted her to relocate to Mumbai to pursue a career in film, and she enrolled herself for a four-month acting course from Asha Chandra's drama school.
Ranaut struggled with her meager earnings during this period, eating only "bread and aachar (pickle)"; her father offered to contribute financially, but she refused, later remarking that "it [was] the most damaging thing I did in my life, as it scarred my relationship with him." Her decision to act in films deteriorated her relationship with her relatives; her parents were "horrified", thinking that she would be exploited, her grandfather asked her to drop her surname, and they didn't correspond with her for several years. Ranaut later said: "Today, I have everything one can imagine and there is nothing I want from them, although I do a lot for my family and friends today."Bhambla in Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh, where her family still lives.
