According to her interview in The Times of India, she said:
When I got [the] offer to dance in a music video ... I had to seek permission from ten different family members including my closest relatives. It was my cousin who supported me, convinced everyone and still stands by me whenever I have to take a decision on my career front. So it's not been so easy for me but my family's support is always with me."[9]
On 21 February 2015, Dhami married businessman Niraj Khemka in a traditional Hindu ceremony.[10][11] Suhasi Dhami, also an actress, is married to her elder brother Jaisheel Dhami.[12][13] Dhami said that her in-laws are very supportive when it comes to her work.[14] On 22 October 2024, Dhami gave birth to a girl.[15]
