It was none other than veteran singer Usha Uthup. In an X post shared by Money Control journalist Chandra R Srikanth on September 17, she revealed the conversation between the CJI and the singer. “Usha Uthup doesn’t pull punches. The moment she met CJI Chandrachud last evening she said, ‘What are you doing at an event? Why aren’t you in court? When are you announcing your decision on the Kolkata case? The entire world is watching.'" She added that Chandrachud played along. “CJI was a real sport," she said.
Additionally, in a video posted by News18, Usha and the CJI were seen singing a song together.
