After her birth, her mother started living with her grandmother in Krishna Nagar, West Bengal. When Titas grew up, her father was posted to Ranchi and they moved there. After some time, they started living in Kolkata but had to leave the place as there were few school options for Titas to play there. So they started living in Chinsurla, West Bengal, where she could play football at their ancestral club. The name of the club was ‘Rajendra Smirti Sangh’ and she used to visit the club during cricket matches to check the scores. She was not interested in cricket from the beginning. She started swimming in class and then played table tennis. One day while she was at the club the match was called off due to rain so her father asked her to throw a bowl and from that moment she decided to start playing cricket professionally.
