Udit Narayan mocks the kiss row at Pintu Ki Pappi event

Playback singer Udit Narayan recently talked about the viral video of him kissing female fans and the controversy surrounding it. Speaking at the trailer launch of the upcoming film, ‘Pintu Ki Pappi’, he discussed the timeline of the video and stated that it was taken two years ago. In February, Udit Narayan received massive backlash for his behaviour with his female fans.

At the event, Udit mocked the kiss row and said, “Khubsurat title hai aapki, Pintu Ki Pappi. Aur Udit Ki Pappi toh nahi? (Your film’s title Pintu Ki Pappi is beautiful. It’s not Udit Ki Pappi, right?)”

He then revealed that the viral kiss video was taken two years ago in Australia. “Ye bhi ek ittefaq hai ki abhi hi ye release hona tha matlab music. Waise 2 saal pehle ka video hai Australia ka jo aap abhi dekh rahe hai. (It’s a coincidence that the music is releasing now. The video that’s going viral is actually two years old, from Australia.).”

Here’s the video:

In February, Udit Narayan was in the news after a clip of him kissing a woman on her lips at a concert went viral. The viral video sparked debate on consent on the Internet.

However, Udit Narayan defended his behaviour and stated that he has no regrets. “Fans are so crazy, right? We are not like that; we are decent people. Some people encourage this and show their love through this. Why blow this thing out of proportion? There are so many people in the crowd, and we have bodyguards present too. But fans think they are getting a chance to meet, so someone extends their hands for a handshake, some kiss the hands This is all just fan craze. One shouldn’t pay too much attention to it,” he told Hindustan Times.

‘Pintu Ki Pappi’, directed by Shiv Hare, features Sushant, Janya Joshi, Vidhi, Vijay Raaz and Murali Sharma in prominent roles.
