**MUMBAI, INDIA** – Veteran singer Udit Narayan is facing intense online criticism after videos surfaced showing him kissing female fans on the lips during a recent live concert performance of “Tip Tip Barsa Paani.” The videos, which have gone viral on social media, show fans approaching the stage for selfies, resulting in the unexpected kisses.
Narayan responded to the controversy, stating that enthusiastic fans often display their affection in unconventional ways. He attributed the incidents to overwhelming fan passion, emphasizing his own and his team’s decency and the presence of bodyguards. He downplayed the significance of the actions, suggesting the events should not be overanalyzed.
However, the majority of online commenters disagree, expressing concern over the violation of personal boundaries and the inappropriateness of such behavior during a public performance. While some have defended Narayan, the predominant sentiment is that he should have avoided the physical contact entirely. The incident continues to fuel a debate surrounding artist-fan interactions and acceptable levels of physical intimacy in public settings.
