Anand was brought up in Kolkata and her work took her to Delhi where her parents arranged a marriage with a successful lawyer in the city. Her parents wanted her to stick at the language despite having to go to hospital due to injuries her husband had caused.^[1]

Anand suffered physical abuse from her husband for ten years. They had two children together and when she finally decided to leave the marriage she left with her six year old child who was not speaking due to the stress.^[2] She did not press charges against her husband due to the threats that he made but she did win the custody of their children. This story was the basis of her first book.^[1]

The 2010 Delhi Police Calendar was based on her first book.^[3]
