Usha Uthup's husband, Jani Chacko, died from a heart arrest in Kolkata on Monday. Usha and Chacko have a son and a daughter together. Did you know that there is a very interesting aspect of Chacko and Usha's lives that very few people know today? Jani Chacko was Usha's second husband, but what's more intriguing? The couple's romance began while Usha was already married to someone else.
Yes, you read that right. Usha was already married to Ramu when she met Jani Chacko. It is very interesting how Usha and Jani met in 1969. The location was a nightclub in Kolkata, where Usha was performing. As per the authorized biography of Usha Uthup, "The Queen of Indian Pop," Ramu, her first husband, was there with her in Kolkata, where the singer was working with Trincas Restaurant & Bar.
Usha first spotted Jani when he was talking to her husband, Ramu. She was relieved that he had finally located a company in Kolkata. Ramu invited Jani to dine with him the next time they met. Later that day, Usha saw Jani play at the same nightclub, but Ramu was not there. Jani asked Usha after work if he could drop her home. Usha agreed, and they chatted during the short ride. According to her authorized biography, Usha arrived home after Jani's drop, and her then-husband was not pleased to see Jani drop her off. Usha was then left perplexed about what had happened to Ramu.
When questioned, Ramu replied, "Do you know what Jani told me when he met me this afternoon?" He said, "I don't know how Usha feels, but I am in love with your wife." Usha said, "Okay, he said that to you." So what happened? Ramu questioned Usha's feelings, and she boldly responded, "I do." Ramu eventually distanced himself from Usha, and after five years of marriage, the pair divorced, with Usha marrying Jani Chacko.
