Usha Barle's father had her after 50 yrs of his first marriage,through his second wife.

His age concerned him and to secure her future, he married her to a boy in their locality.

Her Father was a performer himself n was cognizant of the hardships and adversity of artists.
At the age of 7 when she gave a performance in school, her father, Khan Singh Jangde cried and asked her to stop singing.

But she insisted on performing n so he threw her in a well out of rage.

After being rescued, when she continued to insist, he finally blessed her.
