The history of the Ganguly family begins with Kunjalal Ganguly, an advocate by profession coming from a long line of lawyers from Bikrampur, Dhaka district, Eastern Bengal region (now Bangladesh) and who had settled in Khandwa, and his wife Gouri Rani Devi, the grand-daughter of Raja Shibchandra Banerjee and sister of classical singer Dhananjay Banerjee.
Also, the most popular film featuring all three Ganguly brothers – Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi – was, supposedly, inspired by Kunjalal's Chrysler that he bought in 1928, a year before the birth of his youngest son.

Her mother Sati Devi, a talented singer, was the elder sister of Bijoya, the legendary director's wife.
Amit later sang duets with Krishna Mukherjee, a niece to his paternal aunt Satirani.
Ruma later married Arup Guha Thakurta and had a son, Ayan, and a daughter, Sromana, with him.
