The youngest daughter Sabri Begum gave birth to leading senior contemporary exponent Ghulam Mustafa Khan and daughter Shakhri Begum. Like the sons-in-law, Inayat Hussain's three daughters, naturally played a big role in keeping the gharana alive. It is through the styles of his sons-in-law that contemporary experts have formed their idea of the Rampur-Sahaswan style and it is through his sons-in-law that the gharana stays aloft today. Inayat Hussain trained his son Sabir Hussain and his son-in-law Mushtaq Hussain Khan (1874-1964). So as Inayat Hussain Khan, the founder of the gharana, hailed from Sahaswan and was trained and lived in Rampur, the gharana came to be called Rampur-Sahaswan. Inayat Hussain Khan is said to have shown unusual singing talent in his childhood and so his father took him to the chief court musician of the Rampur court for further training. Inayat Hussain Khan had a cousin, Haider Khan, whose grandson was Nissar Hussain Khan (1906-1993). Mehboob Khan is said to have performed khayals in a simple style with an emphasis on tappa style taans, which can be taken to be an indication of his affiliation to the Gwalior khayal gharana. He was the son of Mehboob Khan, a khayal singer and Veena player of the Rampur court. The history of this gharana begins with Inayat Hussain Khan (1849-1919). Rampur-Sahaswan is a gharana of Hindustani classical music centred in the Uttar Pradesh towns of Rampur and Sahaswan.

It is amazing that even Shanti's parents never stood in her way, they never stopped her from being with her Ammi. While Shanti Hiranand was an austere Gandhian, Begum Akhtar was a person of deep indulgences. She had a liberal education and was used to a certain space and freedom to pursue her own passions, while Begum Akhtar lived within the cloistered environs of a typical feudal home in those days. Shanti Hiranand belonged to an upper middle-class business family. It is interesting how these two women from seemingly diverse backgrounds could come to such an exalted level of understanding between themselves, in times that were not very conducive to such social interactions. Begum Akhtar trained her in the traditional forms of thumri, dadra and ghazal singing.īegum Akhtar's passing away in 1974 drove her to dedicate her entire efforts to excel in the art given to her by her guru. From reading Shanti Hiranand's biography of her guru, 'Begum Akhtar: The Story of My Ammi', one gets the impression that she was the only student who mattered. Begum Akhtar already had two excellent ganda-bandh (officially accepted and initiated) shagirds, or pupils, Rita Ganguly and Anjali Banerjee.

She met her guru, guide and mentor in Begum Akhtar in 1957. Alongside she continued performing on AIR. After the partition her family shifted back to Lucknow and she started training under Ustad Aijaz Hussain Khan of Rampur. Her first performance was on Radio Lahore in 1947. Starting her early training at the Music College in Lucknow, she had to shift to Lahore in the early 1940s because of her father's business interests. Soon it became an all consuming passion for her.

Her love for music goes back to her childhood. Shanti Hiranand was born in a business family in Lucknow.
