Oxford Bookstore organized a launch for eminent singer Usha Uthup’s biography, The Queen of Indian Pop: The Authorized Biography of Usha Uthup.

The Queen of Indian Pop: The Authorized Biography of Usha Uthup gives a vivid biography and a detailed look at the life of the pop singer and her journey as a singer. The book explores Uthup’s sense of freedom, her struggles, and her constructive and creative attitude towards work and life.

Originally written in Hindi by author, Vikas Kumar Jha and titled Ullas Ki Naav, the book is translated by the writer’s daughter Srishti Jha and published by Penguin Random House India.

Usha Uthup said that she has been associated with Oxford Bookstores for more than 50 years now. She started singing in Trincas, and then she used to go to Oxford Bookstores. The book “The picture of Dorian Gray” was her first book from Oxford. So she was thrilled that her biography was being launched in Oxford Bookstore.

The event ended with a musical performance by Usha Uthup, where she sang her hits like, ‘C/o. Kolkata’, ‘Darling’ and ‘Skyfall’.
