She comes from a lower middle-class household. Their family resided in a small room in Kandivali as he sold milk.
She fell in love with cricket as a child after seeing the men in blue win the coveted ICC Men's World Cup in Mumbai.

But her father, who afterwards worked as a street vendor selling vegetable could not provide her with the money to travel to a practice game.

“I had told her father when I took her under my wings that I would either make her play for India or ensure she gets a job with Railways while playing the sport", says Naik, who supported Radha's dreams in every way, including buying her kits.

With her earnings, she has finally bought her proud father a proper grocery store.
