Guru Randhawa Responds To Fine Shyt Backlash
Fine Shyt has faced criticism online since its release on Thursday, with some viewers describing the song as cringe and accusing its video of sexualising women in a professional environment. Randhawa responded by sharing a video of himself driving a Porsche through a desert landscape. In the accompanying Instagram caption, he wrote, “Guilty as charged of making songs that repeat in your head forever. Low-key loving the edits though. No bad vibes! It’s just a silly little slang… calm down, calm down, calm down fam.”

The Fine Shyt video is set in an office and begins with a disclaimer stating that all individuals featured are above 18 and that the story is fictional. Randhawa plays a senior professional surrounded by younger colleagues, including several women, who dance and sing around him. The portrayal has prompted criticism from some viewers, who questioned the treatment of the female characters and accused the video of sexualising a workplace setting.
This is not the first time Randhawa has faced criticism over a music video. His earlier song Azul also attracted backlash over allegations concerning the portrayal of schoolgirls.

Pretending to be on a phone call with Randhawa, Kakkar joked about the situation and said, “Yes, Guru bhai! What have you done, yaar? You did it all by yourself and didn’t even tell me. Would I have picked up your call? No, no, I don’t answer anyone’s calls, but I would definitely have picked up yours.”
The exchange added another layer to the ongoing social media discussion around Fine Shyt, as Randhawa continues to face mixed reactions to the track.
