Udit Narayan, the renowned playback singer, is facing a new legal challenge. His first wife, Ranjana Jha, has filed a maintenance case against him. This comes on the heels of the controversy surrounding his viral kiss incident. Ranjana Jha alleges that Udit has violated her rights and taken over her property. The case has been filed in the Supaul Family Court, where Udit recently attended a hearing but refused to settle.
According to reports, Udit Narayan has been providing financial support to Ranjana Jha. Initially, he gave her a monthly allowance of Rs 15,000, which was later increased to Rs 25,000. Additionally, he provided her with farmland, a house worth Rs 1 crore, and jewellery worth Rs 25 lakh. However, Ranjana claims that Udit kept Rs 18 lakh from the sale of their land for himself. She also alleges that she faces threats and intimidation whenever she visits Mumbai, making her feel unsafe.
Ranjana Jha, who married Udit Narayan in 1984, has expressed her desire to spend her remaining years with him as her health deteriorates. She claims that Udit gradually distanced himself from her as his career flourished, eventually refusing to acknowledge their marriage. This legal battle adds to the singer’s recent troubles, including the backlash from his viral kiss incident during a live performance.
Udit Narayan has denied all allegations and accused Ranjana Jha of attempting to extort money from him. He remains firm in his decision to separate from his estranged wife. The case continues to unfold, with both parties presenting their arguments in court. This legal battle has brought Udit Narayan’s personal life into the spotlight once again. As the case progresses, it remains to be seen how it will impact the singer’s reputation and career.
