Despite being a singer of international repute, she used to prepare and practice before singing any song, just as she would do when she was 13 years' old, he said. Bhagwat lauded her "tapasya" (devotion) towards her personal, family, social and professional life, and said her behaviour symbolising "suchita" (purity) and "sadhna" (meditation) was an example for everyone.
