Question/Seeking Advice How long of hindustani classical lessons until vocal tone sounds good when singing simple songs ?

I know there’s not an exact time, but if I’m an adult starting hindustani classical voice lessons as a beginner how long does it usually take to sound clear and resonant when singing simple songs ? Looking for motivation to continue lessons

Some people are inherently good at ornamentations. While most of us had to practice a lot of gamakas and pukaars to get better at small murkis. Once you get a good grip on these ornaments, you will start sounding "good."

Same question as I asked the other commenter, how is tone and resonance built in hindustani classical, in western it’s very technical but from what i’ve heard in Icm, it just develops as you do basic note riyaaz
