Later, I took training from Srimati Kirti Ramgopal in Bangalore. Prior to that, I trained under Guru Runu Biswas (late) and also at CTG Shilpakala Academy, Bangladesh. I earned a 1st class in my B.A. course in Bharatnatyam in 2008 and successfully completed my M.A. in Bharatnatyam Dance from Rabindra Bharati University in 2010.
