In 2025, singer Udit Narayan shocked his fans, following his viral kiss controversy. The clip featured the singer kissing a female fan on the cheek and lips. His action led to a huge debate about boundaries on social media.
Abhijeet Bhattacharya has now shared how he supported his friend during that difficult time. He said, "I stood with Udit many times, even when he had given up. I told Udit, ‘Just write yes, I accepted the kiss, because someone kissed me, then simply say yes, I'll do it too."
"If my fans come and hug me, I'll accept that too.' But when things started getting blown out of proportion, I told him, ‘Come on, you're Udit," he further added.

"If people don't want to kiss you, then who will they want to kiss? Out of 50 people, if someone gave you one kiss, why make such a big issue out of it?' I told him to say that he accepted it. After that, I said, ‘Now you can start doing it too' and slowly he also began saying the same," he noted.
Abhijeet Bhattacharya recalled standing by Sonu Nigam during one of the singer's past controversies, claiming that many people around Sonu chose to distance themselves at the time.
The veteran singer said he was among the few who continued to support Sonu despite the criticism, emphasizing that he believed in standing by his friends during difficult phases rather than abandoning them when they faced public backlash.
