Medha was born in Mumbai but at the age of two, she moved to Delhi and now her family lives in Noida. Talking about her family, Medha revealed, “My father is from IIT Roorkee. He’s an engineer. My mom was a homemaker. My brother has done his engineering and his master's from IISC Bangalore. He's an entrepreneur in Bangalore. So yeah, my family's academically inclined. My grandfather was a professor. Dadi was a teacher. So, you can imagine my father's reaction when I told him I wanted to become an actor, he was like - you’ve lost your mind,” recalls Medha.
