Rakhee was born in a Bengali family at Ranaghat in the Nadia district, West Bengal, in the early hours of 15 August 1947, just hours after the declaration of independence of India. She received her early education in a local girls' school. Her father had a flourishing shoe business in his native village in East Pakistan, modern day Bangladesh, before the partition and thereafter he settled in West Bengal. While still a teenager, Raakhee
had an arranged marriage to Bengali film director Ajay Biswas, which ended shortly thereafter.
