Ranvir has close ties to Lancashire, having been born in the city of Preston. She attended Kirkham Grammar School before studying English and Philosophy at the University of Lancaster. Ranvir later gained a postgraduate qualification in journalism at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston.
She joined BBC Radio Lancashire in 2002, before working with BBC North West to cover North West Tonight as a journalist and presenter.
