Udit Narayan faces backlash after kissing female fans at concert, internet calls it ¡®gross¡¯ and ¡®unacceptable¡¯

If you thought India's current concert craze was all about sold-out venues and electrifying performances, think again! The latest controversy making waves isn¡¯t about a pop sensation or a rock band¡ªit¡¯s about legendary playback singer Udit Narayan, and no, it's not his vocals that have people talking. A shocking video has emerged of the veteran singer kissing female fans during a live performance, leaving social media in absolute disbelief.

Udit Narayan¡¯s viral concert controversy¡ªand it¡¯s NOT about his singing

The footage in question shows Narayan performing the iconic song Tip Tip Barsa Paani when he leans in towards excited female fans eager for selfies. However, things take a cringeworthy turn when he unexpectedly plants kisses on their cheeks. At one point, he even directs a bouncer to let a fan take a selfie, only to surprise her with an intimate gesture. Needless to say, the moment has not gone down well with the internet.

Lol?

As the clip circulates, netizens are voicing their outrage. Comments are pouring in, with users slamming the singer for overstepping boundaries. One user expressed disappointment, saying they never expected such behavior from someone of his stature.

Criticism didn¡¯t stop there. Many argued that if a younger male celebrity had done the same, the outrage would be tenfold. A user commented that society¡¯s double standards are evident when legends like Narayan get a pass for such behavior. Others outright demanded that the singer issue a public apology.

One person on X also shared another controversy around the singer:

Udit Narayan maintains silence amidst backlash

While the internet remains ablaze with debate, Narayan and his team have yet to address the controversy. Given his legendary status, with a career spanning over four decades and iconic hits like Papa Kehte Hain to his name, this viral moment is a jarring contrast to his celebrated musical journey.

The question now remains¡ªwill Udit Narayan break his silence and clarify his actions, or will this be another case of social media outrage fading into the abyss?
