Veteran singer Udit Narayan faced massive criticism on social media when a video of the singer kissing his female fans during a live performance went viral. The video, which has been circulated widely online, showed him taking selfies with his female fans and kissing all of them.
The video has disgusted many, leaving them completely let down. In response, Udit Narayan has defended himself, saying that it is his way of showing love to his admirers.
He said, “Fans are crazy. We are not like this, we are decent people. Some people encourage this and show their love through this. What is the point of making a big deal out of this? There are 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 their hands..All this is fans’ craze, it shouldn’t be given so much attention.”
Further, reacting to the controversy over kissing the female on the lips, Udit stated, “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, while on stage, I bow down, thinking perhaps this time will not come back tomorrow).”
In the viral clip, Udit Narayan was seen performing Tip Tip Barsa Paani when a crowd of female fans gathered near the stage to take selfies with the singer. While Udit sat down on the stage to pose, after taking selfies, he kissed them on their cheeks and went on to kiss a woman on her lips at the end.
Udit Narayan has a history of such predatory behaviour and yet he remains scot-free which is shocking.
What’s even more shocking is that none of the women slapped him back after the act.
That’s supposed to be the normal initial reaction.
