Early Life
At the age of seven, Kirit started learning music. First he took his lessons on Tabla and later on Sitar. He learnt Sitar from his father Ustad Bahadur Khan till his death in 1989. He acquired sheer virtuosity in his fingers under the strict mentorship of his father. In 1976 he appeared in front of audience with a duet concert (Sitar and Sarod) with his father and that was the start of his glorious career. From then on he played Sitar at home and abroad consistently.
