Udit Narayan has recently received a lot of falk on social media for kissing female fans at a concert. The veteran singer was seen kissing female admirers who approached him for selfies during his performance on Tip Tip Barsa Paani. As per reports, he even kissed a woman on her lips when the fan was about to kiss him on the cheek. The videos of the incident went viral on social media and Udit Narayan was highly criticised for it. Several netizens online called it a ‘shameful act’  The singer has now reacted to the ongoing controversy and stated that he comes from a decent family. 

In an interview with Hindustan Times, Udit Narayan said “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.” 

“My family's image is such that everyone wants (a controversy to happen) Aditya (Narayan, son and singer) chup chaap rehta hai, controversy mein aata nahi hai. Many must feel that. There is madness when I am singing on stage, fans love me, I think let them be happy. Otherwise iss type ke log hum hain hi nahi. Humein bhi unko khush karna hota hai,” he added. 

While talking about the specific incident of kissing a female fan on the lips, Narayan said “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.”
