Social media users have been expressing differing opinions about Udit Narayan’s viral kissing video from a concert. Amidst the controversy, many of his old videos and pictures, where he was seen kissing female singers without their consent, have resurfaced online. Now, netizens are widely sharing a video of Kumar Sanu protecting singer Alka Yagnik from Udit Narayan on stage after he kissed her during a live performance.
In the video, Sanu is seen standing beside Alka and singing a duet. At the same time, Udit, who was also on stage with them, suddenly kissed Alka without her consent. Netizens shared the video to praise Kumar Sanu for helping Alka move away from Udit. The female singer appeared shocked and attempted to distance herself from him.
One fan reacted to the video, saying, “Every woman deserves a male friend like Sanu da 🙌,” while another wrote, “That’s why Alka always performs stage shows with Sanuda.”
After the recent video of him kissing female fans on their lips during a live performance went viral, the singer himself addressed the ongoing controversy. He told ETimes, “There is a deep, pure, and unbreakable bond between my fans and me. What you saw in the so-called scandalous video was a manifestation of the love between my fans and me. They love me, and I love them back even more.”
He further added, “What happened on stage is not new. This is a matter of happiness, the love expressed by fans. Big singers like Michael Jackson also hugged and kissed fans—what is there to make a big issue about? I think it is a matter of pride. This episode has only boosted my career.”
