Udit Narayan is making headlines after a video of the popular singer surfaced online, showing him purportedly kissing a fan at a live concert after she leaned in to peck him on the cheek while taking a selfie.

Many social media users demanded an apology from Narayan and called his action "unacceptable". Meanwhile, many past instances of him behaving "inappropriately" with industry colleagues, especially females, have also surfaced on social media, inviting further ignominy.

When Narayan married Deepa, he reportedly hid his first marriage from her. It was during a concert in Patna when Ranjana confronted Narayan and Deepa about their relationship, only to be disowned by him. "I don't know this woman and have never met her before. These are just attempts to malign me," Udit once told PTI about his alleged first wife.
