Kim was born in Ahmednagar to an Indian father and a Japanese mother and did her schooling from a boarding school in Panchgani. After that she returned to her hometown and joined a junior college but hated her college. 'Having studied in a boarding school, where most of the girls were from aboard, living and studying in Ahmednagar came as a culture shock', quips Kim. So while in her twelfth, she decided to call it quits. Her niece used to study in Army Public School of Ahmednagar. As one of the famous faces of Ahmednagar college, she was offered many fashion shows and modeling.
