She has continued to learn from Smt. Ashwini Bhide-Deshpande, a leading performer of the Jaipur-Atrauli gharana. Ashwini combines the two gharanas easily and melodiously and presents compositions bringing out the best of both the gharanas. Apart from Bandish Gayaki, Ashwini’s large repertoire includes semi-classical forms like Thumari, Dadara, Tappa, Hori, Kajari etc. Marathi Natya Sangeet is her another speciality.
