Early life
Aarti BR Singh was born on August 12, 1974, in Kolkata, to a Bihari Rajput family. She went by the nickname 'Putul'. Her father was Balram Singh, and her mother is Sushila Singh. Her father hailed from Chhapra, Bihar, and her mother from Ara, Bihar. Her father retired as chief engineer from Bihar State Agro Industries and died when she was 24 years old. Her mother was a homemaker. Her Guru, Hazrat Allauddin Ali Ahmed Sabir Pak, Dargah Ashapur Sharif, referred to her as "PatnaWali," which means "one who comes from Patna."

When she was four years old, she collided with her own car while attempting to help village children to sit in the running car by opening the gate, resulting in the rupture of her reproductive organ.

Her Principal Sister Bertina and Vice Principal Sister Carmel once followed her to her home to observe her outlook on life and get to know about her family history.

Her personality was confident since childhood, and this is often noted by others.

She was outgoing, and fun-loving of her age for the society she lived in. Her mother and one of her brothers' restrictions and constraints were so unpleasant to her that she chose to leave home and marry Dev Gupta, whom she met in Chennai barely 6 months ago. She married on June 20,1995, when she was scheduled to appear for her sixth semester of engineering at IETE.

Married life
