Early life

Kale was born in Gadhinglaj, Kolhapur. Her father had a government job at the Forest Office, where he also had knowledge of astrology. Due to transfers every three years, their residence changed frequently, spanning across many villages. After stints in Konkan and Pune, upon retirement, their original village, Kolhapur, became their final destination.

Since she was young, Kale enjoyed dancing. She learned Bharatanatyam and Kathak in Pune and performed in many events. During the India-China war, she danced thumri sang by Asha Bhosle and chorographed by herself in a play called Shivsambhav to help raise funds. Later, she acted on stage offered by Baburao Pendharkar and got film roles with Bhalji Pendharkar's help.
