The interview also detailed that Lahoti is yet to decide which institute and branch he would pursue his career in. He thinks that any question can have a rational response. Even as a child he would bring his grandfather to school and demand that his test be reassessed if he didn't get the results he was hoping for. His foundation for academic success has been built by his painstaking attention to detail and his clear grasp of his own strengths.

Apart from studying, Lahoti enjoys playing chess and cricket. He also finds joy in reading.

Lahoti's father, Yogesh Lahoti, works as a construction manager at Reliance Jio, while his mother, Jaya Lahoti, is a homemaker. Real inspiration for Ved comes from his mother, Jaya Lahoti, and his grandfather, R.C. Somani. He talks to them whenever he has problems and takes action based on their recommendations, informed the institute.
