Early life

Jonathan Romesh Ranganathan was born in Crawley, West Sussex, to Sri Lankan Tamil Hindu parents Ranga and Sivashanthi "Shanthi" Ranganathan. As an infant, he had an eye infection that left him with right-sided ptosis, which is sometimes described as a lazy eye.

Ranganathan studied mathematics at Birkbeck College, University of London, for two years. He taught mathematics at Hazelwick School in Crawley, Surrey, and The Beacon School, Banstead, Surrey, and was a freestyle rapper under the rap name "Ranga" when he reached the finals of the UK freestyle competition. Ranganathan began performing as a comedian while teaching as a tutor.

Personal life

Ranganathan and his three children live in Crawley, England. He and his wife first met when they were both working at Hazelwick School, where she was a drama instructor.

Ranganathan is best known by his middle name Romesh. Jonathan was not aware that his first name was Jonathan when he started learning, as listed on his birth certificate. Ranganathan recalled that his parents told him that this was because his name would otherwise sound too "ethnic" when applying for jobs as an adult.

Ranganathan is a vegan who has been vegetarian up to 2013. He is a fan of Arsenal FC. Ranganathan was a Hindu pilgrimage.

Richard Pryor, Nas, the Albanian flag, and the Transformers' Autobot emblem on his body, he said he became obsessed with getting tattooed and subsequently has tattoos with his sons' names.

Now, Ranganathan has opened up about the death of his former friend three years ago, who he met as a teacher when he was the head of sixth form at a Crawley secondary school. While he started out his career in comedy in 2010, his friend was one of the first people who believed in him, Romesh said.
