She has been acclaimed several times for her Sufi renditions.

Ask her to say something about herself and her humble self says, “While I am a staunch feminist, I strive to be a committed humanist too, making no distinction between gender, age, region and religion. My canvas is life in all its hues and shades. I attempt to see humanity in the spirit of Fatherhood of God and brotherhood of humankind.” Imparting compassion to those who stand marginalized for whatever reasons, she says, “true love never fails, whatever we give, comes back to us.”
