Aditya Narayan phone-throwing incident: Event manager sheds light on “truth”; says, “He kept continuously hitting and dragging Aditya”

-

Singer Aditya Narayan's recent concert at Rungta R2 College in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh, sparked online outrage after a video showed him snatching and throwing away a fan's phone. Now, the event manager clarified the incident, claiming the fan's behaviour provoked Aditya's reaction.

In an interview with Zoom, the event manager stated that the involved individual wasn't a student but was "constantly dragging Aditya's feet nonstop." He added, "He was very irritating. He banged his phone on Aditya's feet multiple times. After that only did he lose his cool."

The manager further disclosed that the fan took "almost 200 selfies" with Aditya before the incident. He added “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.” The manager continued, “If this boy was right, he would have come forward and told the college authorities that this has happened to him.” 

The manager spoke about the one-sided perspective of the circulating video, stating, "People don't know the truth behind everything." He defended Aditya, saying, "He kept continuously hitting and dragging Aditya, what if he had fallen down?" He also claimed the college had never experienced such a successful concert and praised Aditya's performance.

The viral video showed Aditya singing when he stopped, interacted with a fan, and seemingly attempted to take their phone. After a brief struggle, he snatched it and threw it into the crowd.

The incident garnered negative reactions online, with many criticizing Aditya's behavior. However, the event manager's explanation offers a different perspective, prompting further discussion and raising questions about fan-artist interaction at concerts.

‘I lied to get the part’: Melvyn Hayes on his ‘angry young man’ beginnings – and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum

-
He was tipped to be the next Richard Burton – but ended up as crossdressing Gunner Gloria in the now controversial sitcom. As his breakthrough classic returns to the screen, Hayes looks back One day in 1957, Melvyn Hayes was on the set of a film called Woman in a Dressing Gown when a man sat down next to him. “I was getting paid £5 a day and I’d been on location for three days,” the actor recalls. “All I had to do was walk up to a house and put a newspaper through a letterbox. That was my part. Finished. I said to this bloke, ‘I can’t believe the waste of money on this film. Take me. You could have got a newspaper boy on £1 a day to do what I’m doing.’ Then I said, ‘What do you do then, you lazy bugger?’ And he said, ‘I’m the producer.’” Hayes, now 89, giggles at the memory of the cheek of himself at 23. Back then, £5 a day was a decent whack. His first job in showbiz, in the early 1950s, was as assistant to The Great Masoni, a magician who tasked Hayes with “disappearing twice daily...

The Portable Door review – Harry Potter-ish YA fantasy carried by hardworking cast

-
Jeffrey Walker’s adaptation of the young-adult fantasy novel retains its edge thanks to its performances, but gets stuck on the whole door thing Adapted from Tom Holt’s 2003 young-adult fantasy novel, this is a passable attempt at kickstarting a new Harry Potter-style franchise set in a fusty-quirky institution, dosed up with extra Gilliamesque grotesquery. Co-produced by the Jim Henson Company, the production design is poky and intense, and the cast – with Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill larking it up – give it their all. But amid all this clutter, it sometimes has trouble moving its story forward. The Portable Door has a nice conceit: the venerable London corporation of JW Wells & Co is responsible for engineering all the daily incidents of coincidence and serendipity that happen in urban life. Not that wet-behind-the-ears intern Paul Carpenter (Patrick Gibson), desperate for any gig, knows the company’s raison d’etre when he signs up. He appears to have no discernible talents wh...
