She spoke about how when they were young and growing up, both had different takes on fashion. Asha ji shared, "I loved bright colours like Pink and orange didi loved colours too- pink, blue but she always chose to wear white. She was very sure of how she wanted her image to be and worked to maintain that. When she used to perform live on stage, she used to prefer a white saree with a coloured border. Her wardrobe was filled with the finest handloom sarees, she never gave up her love for sarees."
