Dr. Jairath had a very difficult childhood & almost grew up in the neighboring households because of her absent & arduous parents. A beacon of patience & with cosmic survival instincts, Dr. Rita is now a global icon despite all the turbulence & represents India after decades of hardships that life & people brought upon her. She got married very early to escape the tyrannous situations of her home, but her marriage too did not fare very well. She had decided that she will right all the wrongs by giving her child the best possible parenting & life. But fates again had different plans for her & her only child was born autistic. This was the 1980s & the neuro divergent spectrum was still in its initial exploration stage, especially the autistic spectrum. But, Dr. Rita refused to give up, she decided that she will make her son's life better at any cost. Thus began her journey of extensive research & super-human determination to win this humongous fight. 

When her son was 10, he developed an interest for physical fitness & to align with his wishes, Dr. Rita joined the gym with him.
