His brother Shaun is a writer. Amal was based on a short story from his 2005 collection A Slice of Life. Richie and Shaun are not related to film director Deepa Mehta.[1]

Mehta attended the University of Toronto for his undergraduate studies at the Mississauga campus, and worked at The Medium, the campus newspaper, as arts editor and editor-in-chief.

In October 2015, Mehta teamed up with Ridley Scott and Anurag Kashyap for Google, as the executive producer for the documentary India in a Day. The project was for people across India to film a snapshot of their day and upload it on Google's official website.[2]

In March 2019, Mehta's Delhi Crime based on the 2012 Delhi gang rape case was released on Netflix.[3]
