She was married to businessman Rajan Nanda who passed away two years ago.

Granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda was inconsolable at her grandmother's last rites held in Delhi. She was comforted by mamu Abhishek Bachchan, who she is extremely close to.
Ritu Nanda's sister-in-law, Neetu Singh Kapoor, shared a photo of herself with the former on Instagram with the caption, "My dearest may your soul Rest In Peace [sic]." Riddhima Kapoor Sahni also shared a post on social media and captioned it, "To the kindest most gentle person I've ever met - They don't make them like you anymore - RIP bua #missyoualways [sic]."
Ritu Nanda is survived by her son Nikhil Nanda, daughter Natasha and her grandchildren including Navya Naveli and Agastya, besides members of the Kapoor and Nanda families. Having kept away from the glamour of Bollywood, she became an entrepreneur, initially in the household appliances business, and later in the insurance sector, which turned out to be a success.
