Udit Narayan's Indian citizenship questioned

The situation with Udit is entirely different, once you are a US citizen, you do not have to say anything, it is called naturalization and you can tell everyone that you were from Nepal, there would not be any lying needed anywhere. If dual citizenship applies in Nepal, you can claim that also but then just because you are US citizen or you work and live in US, will you stop saying where you are from? If you say so then you are no better that Udit Narayan.


I have never liked him or his family for this dual nature, you could very well be a Nepali and live in India and make a living there. Even Mala Sighna tell everyone that she is from Nepali origin and did not lie that fact. My problem is that why does he had to lie to both India and Nepal all the time. I cannot imagine living such a life of fear. There is another very famous arrtist - Laxman Shrestha, photographer - Rakash Shrestha - they all live and work in Mumbai but proudly say they are Nepali.


I remember one interview with Udit Narayan in Mumbai - when he was asked why he did not participate in NRN conference, he just gave some stupid answers like Maoists are there in Nepal and he is scared to go there that they might kill him or something.


Why do we want to debate with people like him, in face he should just be left to be called a Indian  if he so loved to be Indian, why do Nepali people like to call him Nepali and give all the respect i do not understand. If he does not acknowledge Nepal then Nepal should not acknowledge him as well.
