Suresh Raina's relation to Rainawari...
Suresh Raina was born on November 27, 1986, in Muradnagar, Uttar Pradesh, into a Kashmiri Pandit family. His family's roots trace back to Rainawari in the capital city of Jammu & Kashmir, Srinagar. Hence, Raina's surname originates from Rainawari. Around 1990, during the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from Kashmir, Raina's family migrated to Muradnagar. His father, Trilokchand Raina, was associated with the army and worked in an ordnance factory. His mother, Parvesh Raina, is a homemaker. Although Suresh Raina was born in Uttar Pradesh, his family's deep roots lie in Kashmir.
