Born in 1921, Shankar started her career in dancing. Her father Bhimrao Shastri was a noted Sanskritist who took active participation in India's struggle for freedom and was a close associate of Mahatma Gandhi. She was the co-editor of 'Harijan'. In 1939, when [[Uday Shankar]] brought his dance troupe to [[Madras]] (recently renamed [[Chennai]]), she joined the [[Almora]] Centre to learn Shankar's dance style based on the Indian classics, and became a part of the troupe. In 1941, she married Uday Shankar's younger brother, Rajendra (nicknamed Raju). Her sister Kamala was also a dancer at Uday Shankar's ballet troupe. | Born in 1921, Shankar started her career in dancing.

During a period of illness, Shankar had to give up dancing, and already having had a background of [[Carnatic music]], she undertook learning [[Hindustani classical music]] for many years under Ustad [[Abdul Rehman Khan]]. Later, she also trained with [[Ravi Shankar]], the [[sitar]] maestro and youngest brother of Rajendra and Uday. | During a period of illness, Shankar had to give up dancing, and already having had a background of [[Carnatic music]], she undertook learning [[Hindustani classical music]] for many years under Ustad [[Abdul Rehman Khan]].
