In a survey conducted by BBC on the 100 greatest Bollywood songs of all times, there were 3 Shankar Jaikishan songs among the top 5 with the hit song Baharon Phool Barsao chosen as the No. 1 song of all times. This list went on to prove that Shankar Jaikishan music was evergreen and timeless and appealed to an audience across several age groups.

From her father, she uses the influence of the joys of life and romance and combines it with influence from her mother towards the passion for fabrics and sartorial elegance and style.
