Udit Narayan Under Fire: Criticism Erupts Over Onstage Kissing Incident
Veteran singer Udit Narayan is making headlines once again, but this time it’s due to a controversial incident during a live performance. A viral video showing Narayan kissing female fans has sparked significant backlash online.
Amit Tandon, a well-known singer and former contestant from Indian Idol, has publicly criticized Narayan for his actions at the concert. Tandon did not hold back, labeling the act as inappropriate and characterizing Narayan as a “horny old man.” He further targeted Udit’s son, Aditya Narayan, calling him a “spoilt brat.”
In an interview with Filmymantra, Tandon expressed that, although he holds Udit Narayan’s singing in high regard, the incident marked a serious breach of decorum. He emphasized the need for artists to draw clear boundaries, especially in environments where fans may push for closer interactions.
Tandon reflected on how he would react if a similar incident occurred with his partner, admitting that he would be furious. While acknowledging that the electrifying atmosphere of a concert could have influenced Narayan’s behavior, he insisted on the necessity of self-discipline and the importance of knowing one’s limits. “Artists should know what to accept and what to decline,” he remarked.
He elaborated, saying, “I genuinely appreciate his talent, but I have to call it as I see it: he’s crossed a line. It’s crucial to maintain a sense of control in such situations. If it were me and my girlfriend or wife faced that kind of situation, I wouldn’t have reacted kindly.” Tandon reiterated that while he understands the concert dynamics, setting boundaries is essential for both artists and fans alike.
