Apprehensively ascended want to return to their country than to live parivaralai stake, Udit Narayan Jha, gripping the word
8:43 PM
Udit Narayan Jha is no
stranger to awards. He recently received the Padma Bhushan for his
contribution to Indian films and he can’t stop grinning from ear-to-ear.
“I’ve been in the Indian film industry for close to 40 years now,” says
Udit, who’s originally from Nepal. “This industry has been kind to me.
It has given me everything and this award is an icing on the cake.” Udit
grew up listening to Nepalese and Maithali folk songs. His mother
Bhuvneshwari Devi was known for her folk singing and young Udit imbibed
that. Slowly, from singing for 25 paise at village fairs, he made a
name in the cultural corridors of Nepal. He started singing for the
Kathmandu Radio by the time he was a teenager.
