Deepthi's parents, Jeevanji Yadagiri and Dhana Laxmi, hail from Kalleda village in Parvathagiri mandal. Yadagiri works as a helper in a private company while Dhana Laxmi is a daily wage labourer. Despite their modest means, they continue to work in the village while supporting her passion.
Expressing joy over the recognition, Dhana Laxmi told TNIE that Deepthi's success was the result of eight years of hard work. She credited Deepthi's schoolteacher and college principal, Adepu Janardhan, for recognising her talent and encouraging her to pursue athletics. She also described how Kalleda residents were celebrating Deepthi's achievement, with many visiting their home to congratulate the family after the para-athlete secured a medal in the Paralympics.
