Usha Chilukuri, the wife of J.D. Vance, selected as the running mate for Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump, shares a profound connection with Visakhapatnam, rooted in her family's history. Her paternal grandmother, Chilukuri Santhamma, aged 96 and a retired professor of physics, resides in the city.
Santhamma, who retired from Andhra University at the age of 60, continued her passion for teaching by imparting knowledge at Centurion University in Vizianagaram until she was 93 years old.
Usha's father, Chilukuri Radhakrishna, is the son of Rama Subramanya Sastry, the younger brother of Santhamma's husband.
This familial bond underscores Usha Chilukuri's deep roots in Visakhapatnam, reflecting a rich legacy of academic dedication and commitment to education that spans generations within her family.
