Her Janmashtami special bhajan, "Krishna dhyan", has music by DJ Sheizwood and lyrics by Vishuraj Sharma.

"This song has a beautiful composition, and is so inspiring it makes you forget all difficulties in the world. I was in my own world during the recording and it did make me forget about the pandemic," she said.

Any song, she says, is a way of expression. "People ask me, 'how do you bring variations?' Variation in a song is not planned, because for me it is something that is emotional. It is all in the moment -- the emotional connect, and accordingly the voice varies. Any song is a way of expression where you don't plan and do it," she said.
