Profession: Music Director, Bollywood.Usha Khanna is the only female music director in the Indian Film Industry till now.She made a history by surviving for three decades in an almost exclusively male dominated profession and industry.
Usha Khanna was born in Gwalior to a family of good musical background . Her father was a lyricist and singer and had a Masters in music.she gradually developed interest in music .
Usha was a talented as a kid started learning music when she was very young. Her father was quite a close associate of lyricist Indeevar. She met S. Mukherjee when Indeevar took introduced her to him . After hearing a few of her songs, he asked her from which film she'd picked them up. She told him they're her own songs!
Hits like ‘Chodo kal ki baaten’ from Hum Hindustani slowly established Usha.Remember Usha's lilting 'Chodo kal ki baaten' tune that can be heard in advertisements. Because she had faced so much hardship and resistance when she was once a new comer herself she has always been kind to new comers. This is illustrated by the fact that she didn’t rely on famous singers alone. This sole woman in her field was one who discovered and gave a break to singers like Jaspal Singh, Pankaj Udhas, Anupama Deshpande, Hemlata, Vinod Rathod, Mohammed Aziz, Shabbir Kumar and Roopkumar Rathod.
The composer was last known for her brilliant work in Saawan Kumar’s Souten. Songs like ‘Shaayad meri shaadi ka khayal’ and ‘Zindagi pyaar ka geet hai’ went on to become chartbusters. She also composed soulful music in Agar Tum Na Hote.’ After achieving success on her own terms perhaps the only thing in life that perhaps didn’t go according to plan was her marriage to producer-director Saawan Kumar. ‘It was my biggest mistake,’ she says with a touch of regret in her voice.
It was good for the film world and music fans that even after the couple broke up they continued working together. Usha did the background score of Saawan Kumar’s ‘Sajan Bina Suhagan’.
