Singer and TV broadcaster Aditya Narayan was involved in a recent development around the contentious event at a concert at a college in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh. The artist has apologized for his actions while asserting his accountability to God.
The incident occurred on February 11, 2024, during a concert at Rungta College in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh. Narayan threw a phone at a fan, reportedly filming him without permission. Authorities identified the fan as a minor, not a college student.
Such a disgraceful act. People who desire fame should also learn to handle it with grace. This is the same person who just a while back was crying and pleading for work. Utterly shameful #AdityaNarayan .

Narayan’s Response
Aditya Narayan has apologized for his actions after three days in response to the uproar following the incident. However, he has also made controversial statements during an interview with Times Now, where he asserted that he is only answerable to God for his actions. Narayan stated,
“Honestly, I have no remarks. I am answerable to the Almighty. That is all.”
Mixed Reactions
Narayan’s comments have garnered mixed reactions from the public. While some have defended him, citing provocation by the fan’s actions and arguing that he acted in self-defence, others have criticized him, labelling his behaviour as unprofessional and excessive. He has been embroiled in controversy before, marking not the first time. In 2019, Aditya Narayan was involved in a brawl at the airport.
Event Manager Reacts
The event manager revealed that a non-college attendee caused disturbance by incessantly bothering Aditya banging his phone on his feet. The disruptor took numerous selfies with Aditya, disrupting the smooth flow of the concert. Aditya eventually lost his temper after enduring this behaviour. Despite this, the show continued for two hours.
The manager expressed frustration, mentioning Darshan Rawal’s avoidance of college events due to such disturbances. He criticized the lack of accountability, questioning why the disruptor didn’t report the incident if he was in the right.
The manager emphasized the rarity of successful concerts at the college and referenced another incident at the same event where a boy assaulted a girl for misbehaving. These disturbances highlight a recurring issue in college events, prompting concern about attendees’ lack of awareness and accountability.
Impact on Career
The fallout from this incident could potentially impact Narayan’s career trajectory. As one of India’s famous singers and television hosts, losing fans and sponsors due to such controversies could have significant repercussions.
