Usha Uthup is set to perform with Sushant Divgikar on August 24 in Delhi. She remains firm on her decision to return to the stage. She asserts, “It took a lot of courage for me to come back to doing live shows just after a span of a few days [after her husband’s passing]. What could I have done? They were shows I had already accepted. I don’t believe in sitting at home and crying because it makes no sense. He [her husband] was the one who helped me grow and pursue my career. He never interfered in my life and always said, ‘Go and sing!’ I am doing that and it has brought me a lot of peace.” 

She adds, “I am okay as long as I am singing. It is the only thing that makes me forget about those horrible things. Music unites and brings a smile on everyone’s face. I have always been a positive thinker. I am looking forward to doing many more big public shows. The way to keep him alive is through my music and performances.”
