My Take
Usha Mangeshkar earns my deep respect. Born in Indore in 1935, she recorded songs across an astonishing range of languages, Marathi, Hindi, Bengali, Kannada, Nepali and more, a versatility few playback singers ever match. As the youngest of the four legendary Mangeshkar sisters, alongside Lata and Asha, she might have been overshadowed, yet that multilingual reach is a gift entirely her own. Singer, actor and composer, she carved a distinct lane in a household of giants. I love artists who commit to their craft for a lifetime, and Usha, still remembered as she nears ninety, embodies that quiet, enduring dedication beautifully.
