The Story in Brief
Singer Guru Randhawa has hit back at trolls over his new song 'Fine Shyt' by posting a defiant Instagram note invoking the Finnish concept of Sisu, or inner strength. He wrote: 'SISU MINDSET AND MOVES… Also tell all of them to make some new strategy against me… this one didn't work!! In my own lane… One vs All.' The music video, released on August 6, features Randhawa as a senior professional surrounded by female colleagues dancing around him.
Hindustan Times reports that the video faced heavy trolling for allegedly promoting misogyny towards corporate women workers. Randhawa earlier shrugged off the controversy in another post, calling it 'a silly little slang'. Meanwhile, singer Tony Kakkar took a playful jibe at Randhawa over the row.
The Indian Opinion
Guru Randhawa's defiant 'one vs all' pose frames criticism as a conspiracy, but the substance of the backlash matters more. Hindustan Times reports many viewers found the office-set video misogynistic, not merely cringe. The song's own disclaimer calls it fiction, yet the imagery of female colleagues dancing around a male boss feeds a lazy narrative that equates any workplace depiction with endorsement. Will Randhawa address the content critique or just dismiss all detractors as haters?
