Patna: Buckling under pressure from the Bihar Women's Commission, Bollywood singer Udit Narayan on Friday reached Patna and spoke with Ranjana Jha, who claims to be his first wife.
Narayan has so far denied Ranjana’s claim. He has told media that he did not know "any Ranjana" and had never married her, saying it was a conspiracy to defame him.
Ranjana said that negotiations were proceeding in the "right direction" and that the singer had "accepted" her as his wife.
"He has accepted the fact that I am his first wife. How can he deny this?" she said.
"I am confident the issue will be amicably resolved," she added.
Asked if the singer was prepared to take her to Mumbai, Ranjana avoided a direct reply and said, "How can I go with him today. I have not come prepared for it."
Narayan, who had failed to appear before the Bihar Women's Commission for the sixth time on Wednesday, arrived at the Patna airport and was joined by Ranjana in the VIP lounge, which was barred to the media.
Bihar Women's Commission chairperson Manju Prakash had on Wednesday given a week's time to Narayan on his petition for an "out-of-court settlement" and "meaningful" reconciliation with Jha, but later whittled it down to 48 hours, saying if it was not achieved the panel would issue an arrest warrant against the singer.
