Usha took a risk when she came to Ambridge against her parents' wishes, but her move from the city to the country has paid off. A level-headed and clever solicitor, she nevertheless has an unconventional side to her nature which she's been able to indulge thanks to her relationship with motorcycling vicar Alan Franks. The shockwaves that this pairing caused were felt throughout the parish and all the way to the Bishop, but Usha has a tough enough skin to cope.

Since becoming Mrs Franks she's made her mark on the Vicarage decor but had only limited success in persuading her husband to steer clear of his more adventurous pursuits.
