As Udit Narayan faces backlash over his viral kiss controversy, he now finds himself in legal trouble. His first wife, Ranjana Jha, has filed a maintenance case against him, accusing him of violating her rights and taking over her property.

According to Navbharat Times, Udit Narayan has claimed that Ranjana Jha is attempting to extort money from him. Earlier, a case was filed against him with the Bihar Women’s Commission, but it was settled at the time.
The report stated that Udit Narayan had been providing financial support to Ranjana Jha, initially giving her Rs. 15,000 per month, which he increased to Rs. 25,000 in 2021. He also gave her farmland and a house worth Rs. 1 crore. Additionally, the Bihar Women’s Commission found that he had given her jewelry worth Rs. 25 lakh and a piece of land, which she later sold.
Through her lawyer, Ranjana Jha expressed that as she ages and her health deteriorates, her only wish is to be with Udit Narayan and spend the rest of her life with him.
After the hearing, she spoke to the media, stating that she feels ignored by Udit and accused him of keeping Rs. 18 lakh from the sale of their land. She also alleged that whenever she visits Mumbai, she faces threats and intimidation, making her feel unsafe.
Udit Narayan and Ranjana Jha married in 1984, but as his career flourished, their relationship grew strained. Ranjana alleged that he gradually distanced himself, eventually refusing to acknowledge their marriage and leaving her feeling abandoned.
Seeking security, Ranjana Jha approached the Women’s Commission in 2006. While Udit Narayan initially promised her a home and financial support, she later claimed that those assurances were never fully honored.
This controversy arises as Udit Narayan faces backlash over his viral kiss incident. During a live performance of ‘Tip Tip Barsa Pani’, a video captured him kissing a female fan on the lips as she approached for selfies. The clip quickly spread on social media, sparking criticism from many who deemed his actions inappropriate.
