Sun Feb 02 11:28:16 IST 2025: ## Bollywood Singer Udit Narayan Faces Backlash Over Viral Kissing Video
**MUMBAI, February 1, 2025** – Veteran Bollywood playback singer Udit Narayan is facing intense criticism after a video surfaced online showing him kissing female fans at a recent concert. The video, which has gone viral on social media and topped Google Trends, depicts Narayan, after performing his hit song “Tip Tip Barsa Paani,” engaging in close physical contact with fans, including kissing them on the cheeks and lips.
The singer’s actions have sparked outrage, with many accusing him of disrespecting women, particularly those younger than him. Some commentators expressed disappointment and even questioned the video’s authenticity, suggesting it might be AI-generated. One Twitter user commented, “How can Udit Narayan be so shameless? I have lost all respect for him. This kind of behavior with girls of his daughter’s age on stage was not expected.”
In response to the controversy, Narayan told the Times of India that the video is from a concert in the USA several months ago and suggested a deliberate attempt to damage his reputation. He defended his actions, stating, “There is a deep, pure, and unbreakable bond between me and my fans. What you saw in that scandalous video is a manifestation of love between me and my fans. If you see something dirty in an act of pure affection, then I feel sorry for them. I am not at all ashamed or apologetic.” He further dismissed the criticism, asserting his resilience against attempts to tarnish his image. The incident continues to generate significant debate online.
