Udit Narayan Jha left Nepali citizenship to get Indian one and is now Indian passport holder.

Marriage

Udit was married before he went to Mumbai. His wife was living in Saptari. But, in India he met Geeta Gahatraj, a well known singer. They got close and got married. Geeta and Udit have a son, Aditya Narayan Jha.

While Udit became successful and popular in India, there was no information about his first wife. In 2006 Ranjana Narayan Jha claimed her to be the first wife of Udit. In the beginning he refused to know her. Later he accepted that she was his wife.

According to Times of India of 2006, at first Udit told, “I was staying at a hotel in Patna when a woman forced her way into my room, alleging she was my wife. Fortunately, my wife Deepa was with me. Otherwise, I’d have probably died of shock. It’s so sad and shameful. Please let me reiterate, Deepa is the only woman in my life.”

After a while Udit admitted, “I recognize and accept Ranjana Jha as my wife and promise to look after her and provide her maintenance and upkeep in a cool and cordial manner.”
