"I am not the least embarrassed or apologetic about it," Narayan stated confidently. "Why would I be? My heart is pure, and there is nothing sleazy or secretive about what I did. I have been performing for decades, and people from all over the world attend my concerts. My fans love me, and I love them back even more."
Narayan further suggested that the timing of the video’s resurfacing, months after it was filmed at a concert in the US or Canada, seemed suspicious. He speculated that there may be a deliberate attempt to tarnish his reputation. "It seems like there are some people who are trying to pull me down. But the harder they try, the higher I will rise," he added with determination.
The singer also responded to critics who called his behavior inappropriate, saying, "Fans are crazy about their idols. Some show their affection by shaking hands, others by kissing on the cheek, and in rare cases, on the lips. What’s the harm in that? This is just the madness of love. People shouldn't make a big deal out of it." Narayan expressed that he saw nothing wrong in a fan's expression of love, highlighting that such acts should not be over-analyzed or scrutinized.
Despite facing harsh criticism from some sections of the public, who called the video "disgusting" and "shameful," Udit Narayan remains unfazed. He even thanked those who had criticized him, noting that their actions had only helped make him more famous. As a recipient of prestigious awards such as the Padma Shri and Padma Bhushan, Narayan’s legacy remains firmly intact, and he continues to hold the respect of countless fans and industry professionals.
Narayan, who has sung numerous iconic songs across multiple languages, remains an influential figure in the Indian music industry. His unique voice and timeless melodies have earned him accolades, and his contributions to music are undeniable. Despite the controversy surrounding the kissing video, it is clear that Udit Narayan's connection with his fans remains strong and unshaken, and he is confident that his legacy will continue to thrive in the years to come.
