Veteran singer Usha Uthup, 72, has seen many highs and lows in her life but doesn't regret anything. She says she is a compulsive optimist.

She celebrated her birthday just last month. Asked if she was happy with her life, Usha told IANS: "I am very happy. I don't believe in being sad or negative. I am a compulsive optimist. I don't feel bad about anything. There are many things that have gone wrong, but hey! there is some or the other problem in everybody's life."
