Aditya Narayan concert incident: Here’s why the singer snatched fan’s phone during live gig

Aditya Narayan, a popular singer and television show host, sparked outrage on social media when a video surfaced showing him throwing away a spectator's phone during his performance at Rungta R2 College in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh.

In a recent interview with Zoom, the event manager clarified that the individual involved was not a student. He alleged that the singer became agitated when someone began dragging his feet.

The event manager said, ‘That boy was not even a college student, he must be someone from outside the college. He was constantly dragging Aditya's feet nonstop. He was very irritating. He banged his phone on Aditya's feet multiple times. After that only did he lose his cool. He must have taken almost 200 selfies with this student. The whole concert went smooth apart from this. After this incident, the show went on for almost two hours. If the student was right, he would have had come forward.’

‘Even Darshan Rawal stopped doing such college events because these kinds of activities keep happening in every city. People don't know the truth behind everything. You just see one side. He kept continuously hitting and dragging Aditya, what if he had fallen down? If this boy was right, he would have come forward and told the college authorities that this has happened to him. I have been connected with the college since many years and they haven't had a good concert like this one ever. They have said so themselves,’ he added.

About the viral video
