Use of beholden

Hi

It is common in Indian English to use the word beholden, especially by journalists. Could you please tell me how it sounds to your native ears?

I don't want to be beholden to her by asking her such a little favor.

I am truly beholden to you.

Thanks,

Tom

It sounds OK to me, although I don't read or hear it a lot.
