The internet has been buzzing ever since an old video of legendary singer Udit Narayan kissing a female fan on the lips during a live event resurfaced. The clip went viral, leaving netizens divided, with some calling it inappropriate and others brushing it off as an overblown controversy. But just when the discussion was starting to settle, Udit Narayan decided to spice things up himself¡ªwith a savage and hilarious comeback!
Recently, at the grand launch and music success party of the film Pintu Ki Pappi, Udit Narayan was in attendance alongside choreographer Ganesh Acharya and other industry folks. While interacting with the team and media, he couldn't resist cracking a joke about his own viral controversy. Taking a dig at the film¡¯s title, he quipped that they should have considered changing it. He jokingly added that while Pintu Ki Pappi sounds great, he hoped it wasn¡¯t Udit Ki Pappi instead!
His witty remark had everyone laughing, making it clear that the singer was handling the controversy with humor instead of letting it weigh him down. He further clarified that the viral video in question wasn¡¯t even recent. According to him, the footage was actually from two years ago during an event in Australia.
But the spice didn¡¯t stop there! The controversy also caught the attention of Bollywood celebs, who chimed in with their opinions. Actress and singer Kunickaa Sadanand gave a rather amusing take, stating that while Udit Narayan kissing someone wasn't the issue, it was the placement of the kiss that raised eyebrows¡ªimplying that a peck on the cheek would have been far less scandalous.
As for Udit Narayan, he previously addressed the issue in an interview, emphasizing that he comes from a respectable background and would never behave inappropriately. But with this latest public reaction, it seems he¡¯s choosing to laugh off the drama rather than get defensive.
While social media remains divided, one thing is clear¡ªwhether it¡¯s through music or memes, Udit Narayan knows how to keep people talking!
