Her debut song with the band was a modern rendition of Hil Pori Hila, originally sung by Usha Mangeshkar in 1973. The music video featured 25 underprivileged children from Mumbai's Salaam Bombay Foundation. In 2020, she lent her voice to the spiritual track Tera Hi Ehsas Hai for spiritual guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

She cooks well and lovingly feeds me. She is deeply rooted in our sabhyata and binds the family together," the legendary singer fondly said.
