Mumbai, Feb 4 (NationPress) Singer Akhil Sachdeva has expressed his views regarding the recent kissing incident involving the iconic playback singer Udit Narayan.
In a special interview with IANS, Sachdeva underscored the necessity for artists to be conscious of their behaviors, stating that the world has evolved, making it essential to be aware of one’s environment. He pointed out that circumstances can escalate without warning, and it is vital to prioritize personal safety and alertness. Sachdeva further noted that it is not about taking sides but rather about gaining insights from such events to enhance safety for everyone concerned.
Akhil mentioned, “The world has changed, and artists need to be more aware of their surroundings. Situations can escalate unexpectedly, so personal security and vigilance are crucial. It’s not about taking sides—it’s about learning from incidents and ensuring better safety for everyone involved.”
“I’m not someone who can comment on legends like Udit sir. He is a symbol in the industry, and I feel I am not in a position to critique him. I’m not suggesting they should be excessively cautious, but they must remain aware. Today, everything is on social media, and everyone has a smartphone. If I converse with you while facing the camera, something gets recorded, and it spreads quickly. Artists must be mindful because they might not always grasp the overall atmosphere of a situation. They cannot predict what might be occurring around them. Therefore, yes, being careful is important,” Akhil added.
