    The best thing about Usha is that she dared to break stereotypes and went ahead with all her creativity. A great inspiration to all who feel held back by their limitations

    Some people are beyond limitations.
    They don't need inspiration, but they automatically become inspiration to others.
    Usha ji I LOVE YOU

    I have greatest respect for her. I have seen her since my middle school days some four decades ago on DD. She has never lost her balance of thinking despite her extraordinary challenges. She never made it big in her singing world yet she was adored by many. Her talent is rated from moderate to reasonably good but never reached the zenith. This has never frustrated her nor she gave up on her life. Her lifestyle should be inspiration especially for those who whine and complain. May God bless Ushaji with health, happiness and prosperity. Jai Hind!!
