Udit Narayan says he is a ‘decent man’
In an interview with Hindustan Times, Udit Narayan said, “Fans are so crazy, right? We are not like that; we are decent people. Some people encourage this and show their love through this. Why blow this thing out of proportion? 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...This is all just fan craze. One shouldn't pay too much attention to it.”
‘Everyone wants a controversy’
The singer further added that people want a controversy to happen because his family’s image is such that they don’t get involved in anything. “There is madness when I am singing on stage, fans love me, I think let them be happy. Otherwise, we are not the kind of people who do such things. We also have to make them happy.”
Netizens slam Udit Narayan
As the video went viral on social media, a section of netizens called out Udit Narayan for his behaviour. One user wrote, “Tell me it's AI tell me it is!! What even in a f**king nightmare? Beyond the f**king boundaries of disgust eh? If it was me would have killed him asap.”
“I mean this is disgusting.. but what's wrong with this? Were they forced? No, they willingly came up there to him,” added another.
One user commented, “He smooched the last girl on her lips like a molester. At least the other girls he kissed their cheeks.”
Udit Narayan’s musical journey
Padma Bhushan recipient Udit Narayan started singing in the eighties and has bagged four National Awards apart from other awards and recognition.
