Usha, best known for her role as Savita Deshmukh in Pavitra Rishta, recently shared how her mother kicked her out of the house when she chose to pursue acting at 18 

Usha Nadkarni recently recalled how her mother threw her out of the house when she decided to pursue acting at the age of 18-19. In a candid chat with Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa , she said, "Papa ko itna problem nahi tha, maa ko acha nahi lagta tha. Teacher thi na. Maa ke hisaab se barabar tha—natak mein time nahi rehta, kabhi bhi aate jaate rehte hain.

Ek din maa ne mere saare kapde utha ke bahar fek diye aur bola, 'Drama karna hai toh hamare ghar se nikal ja.’ Toh main bhi gusse mein thi. Maine apne saare kapde uthaye, Grant Road East gayi, ek bag kharida, kapde bhare aur meri ek saheli thi, jo mere saath kaam karti thi, uske ghar chali gayi. Papa mujhe office mein dhoondhne aaye the. Tab main 18-19 saal ki thi."

("My father didn’t have much of a problem, but my mother didn''t like it. She was a teacher. According to her, it wasn’t appropriate—there was no timing in drama. One day, my mother took all my clothes, threw them outside, and told me, 'If you want to do drama, then leave our house.' I was angry too. I packed all my clothes, went to Grant Road East, bought a bag, filled it with my clothes, and went to the house of a friend who worked with me. My father came searching for me at the office. I was 18 or 19 years old at that time.").
