00:00I have to ask you, how did you meet Badesh? I'm sorry, but I have to go there.
00:13This is the sad part of my life.
00:18But it's also a very happy part of your life. You spent 25 years together.
00:24Yes, 24 years.
00:28How did you meet him?
00:32We met in America. He was a friend of my brother's.
00:37As a musician, we were doing shows in America.
00:42I found him very nice and he always made me laugh.
00:47He had such a happy personality.
00:52He was a very funny person.
00:59I liked him.
01:02I was a heartbroken woman.
01:04I was happy to play with him.
01:09He proposed to me.
01:12Jatin Lalit told everyone that I wanted to marry Vijay Dutt.
01:16I told my mother that my mother was offering me to marry him.
01:21My mother asked me, what should I do?
01:26I told her, let's get married.
01:28He is Karan Mithu.
01:31I asked her, what is Karan Mithu?
01:33She said, look at his wrist.
01:35Karan Mithu has a very sweet voice.
01:39She said, your children will be very good.
01:41He has such a thick wrist.
01:44She said, let's get married.
01:46My mother said, let's get married.
01:51I was very happy with him.
01:53When did you get married?
01:55In 1991.
01:57After marriage, I was very happy.
02:00I had children.
02:02We used to travel to America and London.
02:06He made a big house for me.
02:08Ardesh's career also took off.
02:10Yes, it took off.
02:12I was very lucky for him.
02:15We became a couple.
02:17He earned a lot.
02:19He bought a lot of properties.
02:22He gave me a Mercedes car as a birthday gift.
02:26He bought a Hummer from London.
02:30We were very happy.
02:32But all of a sudden,
02:34You had two lovely sons.
02:37Yes, my younger son.
02:39When he died, he was just schooling.
02:42I wanted to educate my children.
02:47Even after his death,
02:49I educated my younger son.
02:51Today, he is an MA.
02:53You named them after Ardesh.
02:57Avitesh and Anivesh.
02:59My elder son, Avitesh, is very talented.
03:03He has composed 300 songs.
03:09He writes, he composes, and he sings.
03:13Avitesh has music from both sides.
03:19Yes, father and mother.
03:21My family has been together for 7 generations.
03:24You are Pandit Jasraj's niece.
03:27My grandfather's road is in Hyderabad.
03:31Pandit Jyotiram Jyotiram Street.
03:34The street goes on for half an hour.
03:37Then there is Ardesh's Chowk.
03:39My father's house is on this side.
03:41On this side is Pandit's house.
03:44Pandit Jasraj was your uncle, right?
03:46He was my real uncle.
03:48My uncle's house is on the other side.
03:51His house is called Sat Bangla.
03:53His name is Pandit Maniram Chowk.
03:56Usha, I am sorry to take you back to something very sad.
04:00But you had a very happy life with Ardesh.
04:03Very happy life.
04:06His career took off.
04:08And you both went around the world together.
04:12Everything was fine.
04:14So, how did you suddenly come to know that he has cancer?
04:19And do you remember when and how it happened?
04:23I remember.
04:24I am sorry, I have to take you back there.
04:26We both went to Kokila to get a full body check-up.
04:29Just like that?
04:30All of a sudden, we said, let's go and have a check-up.
04:34There were no symptoms?
04:36There were no symptoms of anything.
04:38We got a check-up done.
04:40We came to know that Ardesh has cancer.
04:43He has blood cancer.
04:45So, your reports were all normal?
04:47My reports were all normal.
04:49Everything was fine.
04:50Ardesh's platelet is like this.
04:53What is it? What disease is it?
04:56I was asking, what is the problem?
04:58He said, it's blood cancer.
05:00I could not take it.
05:03I could not imagine.
05:05What is he saying?
05:07He is such a stubborn person.
05:09He was so energetic.
05:11He was so energetic on stage.
05:14What am I hearing?
05:16I could not believe.
05:19I did not eat for a week or 10 days.
05:22You won't believe.
05:23I just used to cry.
05:25Ardesh, what has happened to us?
05:27What have we done?
05:29God has given us such a big punishment.
05:31We got such news.
05:35After that.
05:37When did this happen?
05:39This was detected in 2010.
05:42So, we did a lot of things in India.
05:47We went to America, London.
05:49We went to Canada with him.
05:51We used to travel with his family.
05:54We did not go alone.
05:56The doctors everywhere said,
05:59he has blood cancer, which is not curable.
06:05Like Chintuji Kapoor.
06:07Rishi Kapoor.
06:08Rishi Kapoor.
06:09How much did he do?
06:10He had no shortage of money.
06:12We had difficulties.
06:14Ardesh said, Usha, we have to go to America.
06:17We don't have money.
06:18Should I sell my car?
06:20He said, Ardesh, sell your car.
06:22My car.
06:24Sell it.
06:25Ardesh, you will get well.
06:27Then we will buy the car.
06:29Whatever was there, Bharti put it all.
06:33Ardesh.
06:34A 3 lakhs injection used to come from America for Ardeshji.
06:41It used to be put, but it was not cured.
06:47It was not left.
06:49Whatever was there, everything was finished.
06:51Our condition, to be frank, is not as strong as it used to be.
07:01These topics make me sweat.
07:03Obviously.
07:06And today I am alone.
07:08I have raised my two children with my own heart.
07:12They are your pillars.
07:13Your two sons are your pillars.
07:15I hope my son becomes something.
07:17He will get all the happiness.
07:19I have lost so much.
07:21That's true.
07:22God will do something good.
07:24You will be alright. Don't worry.
07:26I am so scared to live.
07:28God, how will I move forward?
07:31Now everything is gone with Ardesh.
07:36I remember when I came to meet you after Ardesh passed away.
07:41You took me to his wardrobe.
07:44You showed me what he used to wear on stage.
07:50You kept all his jackets.
07:52I still have them.
07:53You still have them?
07:54I still have his clothes.
07:56Everything is intact.
08:02I remember everything.
08:04He used to wear it here.
08:06That's true.
08:14I remember everything.
