Singer Udit Narayan continues to face backlash for kissing his fans during his recent live performance. Many people are furious and have criticised his actions, arguing that a singer of his stature has kissed women without their consent. The incident has sparked outrage among fans who have been expressing their angst and disapproval over his behaviour. Amidst all this, old videos of the singer have gone viral on social media in which he can be seen kissing singers Alka Yagnik and Shreya Ghoshal.
Both of these videos are from shows where Udit Narayan kissed Alka Yagnik and Shreya Ghoshal on the cheek. Fans have expressed their disappointment and frustration in the comments, slamming his behavior. One person wrote, “Udit Narayan needs to act like a celebrity, not a common creepy guy. Fans love him, but that doesn’t give him the right to kiss anyone from the audience. I’ve seen girls kiss Salman Khan, but he never responds like this. He constantly makes Alka Yagnik uncomfortable with his lewd glances and comments, and she just ignores it. Now he’s crossed all boundaries.”
One person commented, “I had respect for Udit ji. Jo aaj uska kiss dekha to buddhe ka sara tharkipan ke bare me pata chala. Buddha aagar public mein stage ke upar gaate gaate ye kar sakta hain to socho, jab koyi nahi dikh raha tab kya hi kiya hoga…. I mean he has a freaking wife in house but still the way he and his son talks with Alka is utterly disrespectful to his wife. Whatever bhai. Media me sab kuch chalta hain. Kisi ko bhi yakeen nahi karneka.” A person commented, “Please cancel his padma awards.”
Meanwhile, the singer has responded to backlash he received over his recent video of kissing fans. Udit Narayan told Hindustan Times, “Fans itne deewane hote hain na. Hum log aise nahi hain, hum decent log hain (Fans are so crazy. We’re not liek that,we are decent people). Some people encourage this and show their love through 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 the hands… yeh sab deewangi hoti hai. Uspe itna dhyaan nahi dena chahiye (this is all madness. One shouldn’t give so much attention to it).”
