Veteran playback singer Udit Narayan has once again found himself at the center of controversy after another video of him kissing female fans during a concert surfaced online. The clip, which shows Narayan engaging with admirers and kissing multiple female fans—at times on the lips—has sparked widespread debate on social media.
New Video of Udit Narayan Kissing Female Fans Goes Viral
On Wednesday, an X (formerly Twitter) user shared footage of the singer in a blue formal outfit, surrounded by fans eager to take selfies after his concert. The video captures Narayan kissing multiple female fans, while one woman can be seen laughing after receiving a kiss on the lips. Meanwhile, a male fan was spotted asking for a selfie, but Narayan appeared to ignore him.
Internet Reacts: ‘He Is Unstoppable’
The resurfaced video has triggered a wave of reactions from social media users. One person commented, “He is unstoppable.” Another pointed out how Narayan disregarded a male fan, writing, “One man was asking for a selfie, and he didn’t care.” Other users joked, “Kissing selfies are the new trend,” and “He is going crazy.”
Udit Narayan Addresses the Controversy
This is not the first time Narayan has faced criticism for similar behavior. A previous viral video showed him reciprocating kisses from female fans while performing his hit song Tip Tip Barsa Paani from Mohra. Addressing the backlash in an interview with HT City, Narayan defended himself, saying:
“I have been in Bollywood for 46 years now, and my image has never been such that I forcefully kiss fans. In fact, I fold my hands in gratitude when I see the love my fans shower on me. While on stage, I bow down, thinking this moment may never come again.”
Abhijeet Bhattacharya Defends Udit Narayan
Singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya came to Narayan’s defense in an interview with News18, dismissing the criticism. He stated:
“He’s Udit Narayan! Girls were after him; he didn’t pull anyone close. I’m sure that every time Udit performs, his wife is there as a co-singer. Let him enjoy his success! He’s a romantic singer, a big khiladi, and I’m an anari. Don’t try to play games with him.”
