For Usha Jadhav, her recent National Award win for Best Actress is special. Especially because despite debuting in a Madhur Bhandarkar film back in 2007, she says she was only offered roles of housemaids thereafter. <img alt="Usha Jadhav" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/mar/Usha-Jadhav.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 520px;" /> The actress, admits that pushing her disappointment aside, she continued doing telly commercials. Usha has won the country&rsquo;s most prestigious film award, beating strong contender Vidya Balan. Usha says, &ldquo;I did a couple of other projects but after that I started receiving several roles of housemaids. But when I heard I had won the National Award, I was shocked. I have always wanted to be an actress. My parents live in Kolhapur and they have arrived in Mumbai.&rdquo; Apparently, one of Usha&rsquo;s friends called her and informed her about the prestigious award. Speaking about the film that essays her as a mother, Usha says the award has changed her life overnight. &ldquo;A friend had suggested my name to Shivaji Patil, the director of the film. After seeing my short films and ads, he finalised me. Overnight, everything has changed now. I am happy as every actor wants recognition. I have grown up watching Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit and they are my favourites. It&rsquo;s my privilege that I was being counted amongst actresses like Vidya Balan.&rdquo; u00a0
