Patna, July 28: Noted Bollywood singer Udit Narayan today admitted for the first time that Ranjana Jha was his first wife as he appeared before the Bihar Women`s Commission. In a clear indication of reconciliation with her husband, Ranjana too stated that she has no problems with his second wife Deepa. Udit, however, avoided taking to media.

Udit Narayan, who had been evading the appearance before the panel, was given 15-day ultimatum by the commission to solve the matter. Today, he gave a written assurance to the Commission that he recognised Ranjana as his first wife.

Udit Narayan had flown to Patna on June 30 for a reconciliation with Ranjana after the commission had threatened to have an arrest warrant issued against him if `meaningful reconciliation` was not achieved.

As Ranjana had told the commission following the meeting that talks were moving in the right direction, it had asked the singer to appear before it. Ranjana after about two-and-a-half hours of talks with Narayan at the airport lounge here on June 30 had told the media that talks had proceeded in the `right direction` and claimed that the singer had accepted her as his first wife.

A high-voltage drama was enacted on April 21 in a posh hotel here when Ranjana staged a sit-in in front of the door of the hotel suite in which Narayan was staying with Deepa Narayan, with whom he is living at present.

The commission had on the basis of the photographs and statement of people who had attended the marriage in 1984 prima facie accepted Ranjana`s claim of marriage with Narayan and had asked the singer to appear before the panel to record his version and also clarify his relationship with Deepa.

Deepa blames media, says it is family matter

While the high-voltage drama between Udit and Ranjana seemed to be dying down, Udit’s second wife Deepa took a U-turn today and blamed the media for “unnecessarily creating troubles for the family over what she termed as “internal matter”. She insisted that she had full knowledge of Udit’s first wife Ranjana before marrying him in 1982.

Deepa said that she has no problems with Ranjana.
