From an early age, my guiding principle in life has been to become both a good human being and a skilled artist. My journey began at the tender age of 4 under the tutelage of my mother, Shrimati Kanta Bhattacharya. Later, I had the privilege to learn from the illustrious Padma Bhushan Ustad Rashid Khan. My passion for Indian classical music has been with me since childhood, and as I continue my learning journey, my love for it only deepens. Learning remains an ongoing process, and I'm committed to absorbing as much knowledge as I can throughout my life.
