Early life and education

Misha joined MBBS course in Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Medical College, Jamshedpur in 1993 under TISCO quota,[3][4] although, she failed the entrance examination. Misa Bharati married Shailendra Kumar, a computer engineer, on December 10, 1999.[5] The couple has three children- two daughters and one son.[6]

On 20 June 2017, the Income Tax attached Benami properties belonging to Misa Bharti & her family worth over Rs. 175 crores (25m usd). This was done after Misa did not appear before the investigating officer after being served two summons.
