Born in Kolhapur in 1935, Bhide received encouragement from her parents to take up classical singing and later she became a singer of Jaipur-Atroli 'gharana'.
After her marriage, she shifted to Mumbai and continued her classical singing under the guidance of doyen of classical music (late) Kishori Amonkar.
