Janaki's parents, Noop Divakaran and Divya Raveendran, are from Kerala's Kozhikode and have been living in Australia for the last 15 years. Janaki was born and brought up in Australia only.
Talking about her Indian family, Janaki shared, "We visit Kerala every December. I enjoy spending my time in Kozhikode with my grandparents, cousins, aunts, and uncles, exploring the great Malabar food. We also travel to my uncle’s place in Kochi and to Wayanad to visit my dad’s relatives. It is a lot of fun, as we have a lot of birthdays and anniversaries within the family during the December-January period. So it is a kind of big family reunion."
