Ace Bollywood singer Udit Narayan recalled his first meeting with his wife Deepa Narayan, and his initial days of struggle on 'The Kapil Sharma Show.'

He said: "I met Deepa at a regional music diﷺrector's place where I was rehearsing. It was somewhere around 1979. She heard my voice then and she went up to the music director to say✱ that she would put her money in if Udit sings the song as she was making an album. And from there, our story began."

The💯 'Papa Kahte Hain'🎉 singer said that his wife supported him in the initial days of his career and always stood by him.

"Also, back in those days, I was living as a paying guest with 7-8 boys in a room, so Deepa offered me a room in her building, but I denied it as I was scared that I might get too comfortable and reckless. But she always stood with me and believed in me saying that one day I will make it big. She even said that even if I don't become successful, she h🍌as made up her mind that I am her husband," she shared.

He further reminisces about his days of struggle in the industry an🦩d how bei🐻ng a son of a farmer, it was not easy for him to follow his passion as his father wanted him to be a doctor or an engineer.

He added: "My father was a farmer and we were going through a very tough time. I was, however, very much into singing from the very beginning. My father would always say that I should avoid putting so much effort into these Ram Leelas and rather work hard and become a doctor🔯 or an engineer and make him proud by earning good money.

"So, I went to my mother, who is by the way 106 years old now, and she sings reallꦦy well. I told herꦫ what my father thinks."

Narayan concluded by recalling his mother's response: "She agreed to my father's suggestion considering our background, but somewhere she had faith in my singing, s🍸o she motivated me to be a singer but also told me to study as well.&ꦚquot;

"Both my parents just kept the compulsion of education on me, and I am glad they did. I came to Mumbai from a small town and never gave up, I struggled, worked hard and today I am here because of that.🧸"

The veteran singer, his wife Deepa Narayan, singer and host Aditya Narayan, along withও his wif✅e Shweta Agarwal, are coming on 'The Kapil Sharma Show' as celebrity guests.

'The Kapil 🌊Sharma Show' airs on Sony Enter💫tainment Television.
