Udit Narayan kissing row: A Look At Similar Celebrities Controversies From Past
In the world of entertainment, where fame often collides with fan devotion, Udit Narayan finds himself embroiled in controversy after a recent concert incident that raised eyebrows. A video capturing the veteran singer kissing a female fan on the lips has ignited discussions about boundaries and the nature of celebrity interactions.
Past encounters involving other artists, like Mika Singh and Rakhi Sawant, further complicate the narrative, highlighting ongoing struggles with personal boundaries in the public eye.
Famous singer Udit Narayan is facing controversy as he was caught on camera kissing a female fan on the lips while performing at one of his concerts recently. Responding to it, he portrayed the incident as a manifestation of fans' love and "deewangi." He said, "Fans itne deewane hote hain na.". Hum log aise nahi hain, hum decent log hain (Fans are crazy. We are not like this, we are decent people). Some people encourage this and show their love through this. Udaake kya karna hai ab iss cheez ko (What is the point of making a big deal out of this)? There are so many people in the crowd, and we have bodyguards present too. Fans feel they are meeting, someone stretches his hand for a handshake, some kiss hands. yeh sab deewangi hoti hai. Uspe itna dhyaan nahi dena chahiye (All this is fans' craze, it shouldn't be given so much attention)."
Udit Narayan has a history of such predatory behaviour and yet he remains scot-free which is shocking.

What's even more shocking is that none of the women slapped him back after the act.
That's supposed to be the normal initial reaction.

After the viral video, some older clips of Udit Narayan kissing female celebrities also reappeared on social media. In one clip, he could be seen kissing Shreya Ghoshal on the cheek while presenting an award to her as she was about to collect it. Another video captures Alka Yagnik being visibly startled after being kissed on the cheek by him during an Indian Idol episode. In yet another clip, Alka seems uncomfortable herself when Udit kisses her at yet another event.
As the controversy unfolded with Udit Narayan, an old video of Guru Randhawa also emerged in which a fan is seen trying to kiss him but he elegantly sidestepped. Fans have appreciated Randhawa for teaching how a singer should react at such moments of time, tagging him as a 'gentleman' and telling artists that they should know to deal with it without losing dignity.

In 2006, there was a case involving Mika Singh and Rakhi Sawant. Mika kissed Rakhi on the lips without her permission at a birthday party. Rakhi lodged a complaint against him, and it was all over the media and public debate. Rakhi voiced her anger and discomfort, explaining that one should respect personal boundaries. This incident has been talked about in various interviews and discussions, showing that harassment and consent issues still persist. Both Mika and Rakhi are prominent figures in the Indian entertainment industry, but this incident continues to be a part of their stories.
This was seen when a lip lock shared by music composer Himesh Reshammiya and actress Sonia Kapoor at the promotional event gained much controversy. Fans and the media outlets went ballistic by asking questions regarding their relationship. Others said that this was all publicity, and still others thought this was a shame to kiss publicly. The backlash towards Himesh and Sonia was met with words of defence such as spontaneous gestures of love.
