600+ saris: Usha Uthup's timeless fashion | Obsessions | CRED

Ғылым және технология

For most, making a statement isn’t an easy task. But then again Usha Uthup isn't ‘most people’.
For one, she prefers to drape her statement.
An obsession 50 years in the making, these saris are now an integral part of her identity. Each of the 600+ saris carries an equally colourful history; from the sari she received as a payment for her first gig, to the purple sari she claims is Kolkata Knight Riders’ lucky charm or the one she wore when receiving the country's highest civilian award, the Padma Shri.

    In an interview on red carpet she said "my secret is i'm wearing sneakers under my saree" and I fell in love with her. What an icon what a legend. She was one of the first people in indian music industry to shatter the stereotype of typical high pitched female voice and made her songs more relatable and so we normal women with not so high pitched voice can also sing along without sounding stupid. Thank you for this. She is one of her kind. I wish todays generation could know her more. ❤

They don't like to wear a perfect/nice dress they leave it just it as.... Being presentable or taking care of themselves is very important Age does not matter.

    It takes guts. Real GUTS. Guts to be who you are what you do and stick to it than being dragged away and get bogged down by rejection, existential crisis And acceptance by large. In the era when singing in clubs were equated to something which will never be equated to mainstream music, Usha Amma did what nobody did. And How ! You truly are a beautiful person in and out. You are immortal. More power to you
