Notably, one of her most outstanding accomplishments is the remarkable song "Darling", which she had the privilege of recording alongside the talented Rekha Bhardwaj for the critically acclaimed film 7 Khoon Maaf. This impressive collaboration ultimately resulted in her receiving the prestigious Filmfare Award for Best Female Playback Singer in the year 2012.
Usha's odyssey in the realm of music commenced at the tender age of nine, when her sisters, already embarked on a musical career, accompanied her to the esteemed radio announcer Ameen Sayani, who extended to her an extraordinary opportunity to exhibit her remarkable talents on the illustrious Ovaltine Music Hour broadcasted by the renowned Radio Ceylon.
The inaugural public performance of this esteemed individual, "Mockingbird Hill", served as the catalyst for a plethora of appearances throughout her adolescence, thereby laying the foundation for a lifelong devotion to the art of music and ultimately solidifying her reputation as a cherished and iconic Indian singer.
