Ragini is married to the celebrated Kannada actor Prajwal Devaraj, and according to the actress, her family has been the biggest support system in her new journey of cinema.

"Prajwal has done more than 30 films in the Kannada film industry and he was recalling his debut that happened 10 years ago. Even he had that feeling of nervousness before the release of his debut film. While he is very excited and happy, he was telling me how privileged I am that the film is releasing on a digital platform with a reach of 200 countries. I agree. It is really a good fortune for me that in the digital era, my debut film is getting such great exposure. But the most excited and enthusiastic person is my father-in-law (veteran Kannada actor Devaraj).

"Every morning, since the trailer has released, he would come to us and say, 'so how many views and likes today?' he is counting on those numbers that we are getting on social media! I have a very supportive family!" smiled the actress.

"Law" released on Amazon Prime Video on July 17.
