Born in 1990 in the Hissar district of Haryana, Saina is the of the two daughters of Harvir Singh and Usha Rani. She spent her early childhood in Haryana.

He used the money from his provident fund to ensure that she was trained at the best possible places. And when required, he even borrowed money.
