Udit Narayan Breaks Silence on Viral Kiss Incident; Says ‘It Was Spontaneous’

MUMBAI: Udit Narayan has found himself at the center of a controversy following a viral clip from one of his concerts. The internet erupted in outrage after the 69-year-old singer was seen returning kisses from fans during his performance of Tip Tip Barsa Paani (from Mohra, 1994). At one point, he even allegedly kissed a female fan on the lips as she was about to kiss him on the cheek.

He told the reporters that, “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?"

"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,” he further stated.

Addressing the specific incident of kissing a female fan on the lips, Narayan says that it was a spontaneous moment. "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 phir aaj ka yeh waqt laut ke aaye na aaye," he ends.
