Udit Narayan Reacts to Viral Video, Defends His ActionsIn a conversation with Hindustan Times, Udit Narayan addressed the viral video of him kissing a woman during a live show. He explained, “Fans itne deewane hote hain na. Hum log aise nahi hain, hum decent log hain. (Fans are crazy. We are not like this. We are decent people.) Some people encourage this and show their love through this. Udaake kya karna hai ab iss cheez ko? (What is the point of spreading this?) 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. (This is all madness. We should not pay attention to this).”
Narayan further shared, "My family is such that everyone wants to have an argument. Aditya is calm. He doesn't get into any controversy. I have been in Bollywood for 46 years. I'm not going to force a fan to kiss. When I get love from the audience, I fold my hands and say thank you to them."
