In her personal life, Ranvir has experienced both highs and lows. She married Ranjeet Singh Dehal in 2012, and they had a son, Tushaan.

However, the couple's relationship ended while she was pregnant.

As a single mother, Ranvir has spoken candidly about the difficulties of balancing her demanding career with raising her son. Despite the challenges, she has prioritized providing a loving and stable environment for her child, often sharing her experiences and the realities of being a working single parent.

In an interview with The last year, she revealed, "I have actually been a single mum since I was seven months pregnant. I've kept that so quiet but I am okay to talk about it now. And that's a me thing. I'm happy to correct it today."

Ranvir began a new chapter in her personal life in 2021 when she started dating Louis Church, a TV producer she met during her time on Strictly Come Dancing. Despite their 18-year age gap, she has expressed her happiness and fulfillment in this new relationship, describing it as a "blessed" experience.

The couple has faced public scrutiny, but Ranvir has been open about the anxieties and joys of falling in love again after her separation.

Ranvir's stint on Strictly Come Dancing in 2020 was a career highlight.

She was partnered with professional dancer Giovanni Pernice and transformed from a novice to a proficient dancer, wowing both judges and viewers. Her performances were characterised by elegance and emotional depth, particularly her Argentine Tango to Prince's When Doves Cry.

Despite the physical and emotional demands of the show, Ranvir's commitment shone through as she secured fifth place. Despite facing criticism and rumours of friction with her dance partner, she remained professional and focused.

Her emotionally charged performances earned her praise and she reached the semi-finals before being voted off. The Strictly experience provided Ranvir with a new platform to display her talent and resilience, and opened up new opportunities in the entertainment industry.

In 2024, actress Amanda Abbington made allegations about Giovanni Pernice's behaviour, describing it as "unnecessary, abusive, cruel and mean" during her time on Strictly. Amanda, who exited the competition early in 2023, sparked a flurry of accusations about her pro-partner Giovanni.

Reports suggested that Amanda had an emotional meeting with two of Giovanni's former Strictly partners - including Ranvir and Laura Whitmore - to discuss their "difficult experiences" with him.

The BBC uncovered some details after a gruelling nine-month investigation into allegations of verbal bullying and harassment levelled at Giovanni . Although it was found that Giovanni hadn't been physically aggressive towards his dance partner, welfare measures have now been introduced on thedance show.

Ranvir, opening up on Good Morning Britain, reflected positively on the outcome: "I was pleased to see that the BBC investigation had concluded it had been going on for some time and that it ended with an apology to Amanda. I was pleased to see that."

She further commented on the benefits of the new wellness precautions: "I think that it can only be a good thing that these extra welfare measures have now been put in place on the back of this investigation because ultimately, Strictly is a show that everyone should be having a good time on."

Emphasising the uplifting nature of the programme, she added: "It's entertaining, it's joyful and everybody should be having a good time whether they work on the show, and the audience at home should feel comfortable that it's what everyone is experiencing."
