Early Life
Rakhee was born in Ranaghat, in the Nadia district of West Bengal, in the early hours of 15 August 1947, just hours after the declaration of independence of India. She received her early education in a local girls' school. Her father, who had a flourishing shoe business, was uprooted from his native village in East Pakistan, modern-day Bangladesh, during the partition and thereafter he settled in West Bengal.
While still a teenager, Raakhee had an arranged marriage to Bengali film director Ajay Biswas, which ended shortly thereafter.
