Udit Narayan REACTS To His Viral Video Kissing Female Fans
In response to the controversy, Narayan explained the moment and said the actions were spontaneous and a result of his fans’ excitement.
He shared with Hindustan Times, “Fans itne deewane hote hain na. Hum log aise nahi hain, hum decent log hain. Some people encourage this and show their love through this. Udaake kya karna hai ab iss cheez ko?”
The singer added, “There’re so many people in the crowd, and we have bodyguards present too. But fans think they are getting a chance to meet, so someone extends their hands for a handshake, some kiss the hands… yeh sab deewangi hoti hai. Uspe itna dhyaan nahi dena chahiye.”
Narayan suggested there could be other reasons behind the controversy. “My family’s image is such that everyone wants (a controversy to happen). Aditya (Narayan, son and singer) chup chaap rehta hai, controversy mein aata nahi hai,” he said.
The 69-year-old singer explained that the love from his fans during his performances made him want to share their joy. “There is madness when I am singing on stage, fans love me, I think let them be happy. Otherwise iss type ke log hum hain hi nahi,” he added.
Fans Are Disappointed After Watching The Viral Video
The video also shows Narayan kissing another fan on the cheek, which led to cheers from the crowd. However, some social media users found the act inappropriate.
One user wrote, “Tell me it’s AI, tell me it is!! What a nightmare. Beyond the boundaries of disgust.” Another commented, “A singer of his stature should be super conscious of his deeds in public.”
Despite the criticism, Narayan defended the act as a spontaneous gesture. He insisted it was never meant to disrespect anyone. “I have been in Bollywood for 46 years now, my image hasn’t been such (that I forcefully kiss fans). In fact, I fold my hands when I see the love my fans shower on me,” he concluded.
Udit Narayan has had a long and successful career in Bollywood. His iconic songs in films like Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Lagaan, Devdas, Veer-Zaara, and Student of the Year have made him a household name.
