As soon as the video was shared on Reddit, netizens quickly joined the discussion to share their opinions. While one user wrote, ‘”It’s all fun and games till Udit grabs the Pap and fulfils his wish’, another one added, ‘That lady looked worried that he might just suddenly attack her with a kiss on his way in!’
In February 2025, a video surfaced online showing Udit Narayan interacting with female fans during his performance of Tip Tip Barsa Paani. While taking selfies with fans near the stage, one woman kissed him on the cheek. The situation escalated when Udit returned the gesture with a kiss on her lips.
