Late last year, singer Udit Narayan made light of the contentious viral video that showed him kissing female admirers on the lips.The controversy surrounding Udit Narayan’s kissing incident is still going strong. Udit Narayan recently went to the Pintu Ki Pappi trailer premiere ceremony. The musician made fun of the controversy after receiving a lot of negative feedback on social media for his viral video of kissing fans.
It appears that Udit Narayan has not been disturbed by the dispute, even if it has subsided. At a promotional event in Mumbai on Monday, the veteran musician made light of his contentious kisses to female fans. Udit Narayan made light of the controversy at the trailer presentation for the movie Pintu Ki Pappi, over a month after he was heavily criticized for a video that went viral showing him kissing female fans during a performance.
Addressing choreographer :
During the event, Ganesh Acharya made a joke regarding the movie’s title: “Khubsurat title hai aapki, Pintu Ki Pappi,” said Udit Narayan. Toh nahi Aur Udit Ki Pappi?” (The title of your movie, Pintu Ki Pappi, is stunning. I take it that this isn’t Udit Ki Pappi?
Udit Narayan jokes about the controversy :
Alongside the actor from the movie and renowned choreographer Ganesh Acharya, Udit Narayan attended the event in Mumbai on Monday night. “Pintu Ki Pappi is a lovely title,” he added as he took the stage. When the singer said, “Udit ki pappi nahi hai na (It’s not Udit’s kiss, right)?” the crowd and the cast of the future movie burst out laughing.
“This is also a coincidence that this had to release now, I mean the music (of this film)” he stated. Narayan, 69, asserted at the trailer’s release that the video that went viral last month was from an Australian event and was two years old.
The dispute around the kiss of Udit Narayan :
As he sang his well-known 1990s song Tip Tip Barsa Paani from the action blockbuster Mohra, the well-known musician was seen kissing female fans back in the widely shared video.
One of the videos that went viral at the time showed Narayan pleading with the security guards to allow a female fan who was taking selfies to approach the stage. Narayan was seen dipping his head and kissing her on the lips as the fan leaned in to kiss him on the cheek as she approached him to take a picture with him.
Numerous social media users referred to Narayan’s move as “inappropriate” and sought an apology. Others backed the singer, claiming that the woman was the one who first planted the kiss.
Udit Narayan had told HT, “Fans itne deewane hote hain na,” in reaction to the criticism. Fans are insane, but we’re not. Hum log aise nahi hain, hum respectable log hain. We’re good people. Some individuals support this and use it as a way to express their affection. We have security here, and there are a lot of people in the crowd. Fans, however, believe they are having a chance to meet, so they stretch their hands to shake hands, and some even kiss them. This is all crazy. Uspe itna dhyaan nahi dena chahiye. One should not focus too much on it.
Additionally, the singer disclosed that the video was created two years ago. The music is matlab. “Ye bhi ek ittefaq hai ki abhi hi ye release hona tha.” Australia ka jo aap abhi dekh rahe hai, waise 2 saal pehle ka video hai.” The music’s current release is a coincidence. According to Udit Narayan, the viral video is actually two years old and originated in Australia.
