She was initiated into music by her mother, Late Mrs. Prabhati Roy, who was also a maternal aunt of the internationally famous Tabla Nawaaz Pandit Kumar Bose of Calcutta. Susmita later took her formal guidance in vocal music from Kumarji’s second brother, Pandit Jayanta Bose, an accomplished international vocalist and solo harmonium player.
