A video featuring renowned singer Udit Narayan has gone viral, sparking significant outrage on social media. In the footage, Udit is seen interacting with his fans during a live performance. The video, which appears to have been recorded by a fan at one of his recent shows, shows the singer performing the hit song Tip Tip Barsa Paani. As Udit sings, several female fans approach him for selfies. After the pictures are taken, Udit kisses the fans on their cheeks, which appears to be a customary gesture during his interactions with them.
However, one of the female fans kisses Udit on the cheek, and in response, he proceeds to kiss her on the lips. This act, captured in the video, has caused an uproar online. The audience in the clip can be heard cheering and applauding, but many viewers are uncomfortable with Udit’s actions. The internet quickly reacted, with some expressing their disbelief and disgust. One user wrote, "Udit ji? Seriously? My eyes, my eyes. Can’t expect something like this from him." Others questioned the authenticity of the video, suggesting it might be manipulated. Some even described the incident as “beyond the boundaries of disgust.”
Social media users were particularly disturbed by the kiss on the lips, pointing out that Udit did not kiss any male fans in a similar manner. "Why did he not kiss the guy taking a selfie with him?" asked one commenter. Others described the interaction as inappropriate, with one tweet accusing Udit of “smooching” the fan like a “molester.”
In his defense, Udit spoke to HT City, explaining that he sees such acts as expressions of love from his fans. He mentioned that fans often show their admiration in different ways, such as by offering handshakes or kisses on the hand. He insisted that such actions should not be overanalyzed, emphasizing that he is a "decent person." Udit further explained that there were many fans in the crowd, and bodyguards were present for security, but fans sometimes get caught up in the excitement of meeting their idol.
