==Childhood==
Kalle's family was from [[Karwar]], [[Uttara Kannada]]. She was born and grew up in [[Kanpur]], where her father was employed.

==Career==
When Kalle came to [[Mumbai]] to visit relatives, the singer [[Arun Date]] happened to hear her sing. Impressed, he introduced her to music director [[Yashwant Deo]], who was then employed at the Bombay station of AIR. Deo composed a Marathi song that Kalle recorded, ''man pisaat majhe''. The song proved popular and started her journey as a Marathi singer. The next two songs she recorded, ''parikathetil raajakumaaraa'' and ''uuTh sha.nkaraa soD samaadhii'', also were very well received.<ref>[http://maharashtratimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/45313830.cms कृष्णा कल्ले]</ref> From 1960 onwards, she began broadcasting regularly over AIR as an 'A' graded artist.
