Fans took to social media to express their discomfort, criticizing Narayan for crossing boundaries with both fans and fellow performers.
Many have labeled the singer’s actions as indecent and have demanded an explanation for his behavior.
In response to the controversy, Narayan defended his actions in an interview with Hindustan Times, downplaying the incident.
He explained that fans often express their admiration in extreme ways, stating, “Fans itne deewane hote hain na. Hum log aise nahi hain, hum decent log hain (Fans are crazy. We are not like this, we are decent people).”
He went on to suggest that such actions, like handshakes and kisses, are part of the fans’ excitement and shouldn’t be overemphasized.
“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… Yeh sab deewangi hoti hai (All this is fans’ craze),” he added.
