New Delhi:
Bigg Boss 17 champion and comedian Munawar Faruqui has expressed his views on the viral incident involving singer and host Aditya Narayan, whose actions during a concert have sparked significant conversation online. At a recent event in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh, Aditya was captured in a video as he snatched and tossed a fan’s phone, leading to widespread criticism. Sharing his perspective, Munawar posted on X [formerly Twitter]: “Papa kehte hain, badnaam karega! Beta humare aise kaand karega… #AdityaNarayan,” humorously modifying the renowned song lyrics from the movie Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, largely because Udit Narayan, Aditya’s father, originally performed the song, thereby intertwining the quip with familial reference.

The contentious video commences with Aditya singing Aaj Ki Raat from Don, only for the scene to unfold into a clash with a fan who was reportedly incessant in disrupting the performance. According to the event manager in an interview with Zoom, the fan “was constantly dragging Aditya’s feet nonstop. He was very irritating.” Subsequent to the incident, the event went on for about two more hours. The manager also pointed out that other artists, such as Darshan Rawal, have refrained from doing college shows due to similar disturbances.
The incident is facing severe backlash online; however, the event manager maintains that only one side of the story is being portrayed. Concluding the explanation, he stated, “If this boy was right, he would have come forward and told the college authorities that this has happened to him.”
