The Story in Brief
Singer Guru Randhawa visited the Golden Temple in Amritsar on Sunday, posting a faith-filled message in Punjabi on Instagram, after his new song 'Fine Shyt' sparked intense trolling online. The music video, set in a corporate office, shows Randhawa surrounded by female colleagues and has been criticised by many users for its perceived misogynistic tone. Randhawa disabled comments on his temple post.
Fellow singer Tony Kakkar took a humorous dig at Randhawa on Instagram, pretending to be on a call with him and joking about feeling 'left out' from the trolling. Kakkar compared 'Fine Shyt' to his own song 'Kurta Pajama', calling it 'great'. This is not the first time Randhawa has faced backlash; his earlier song 'Azul' was also criticised for allegedly sexualising schoolgirls.
The Indian Opinion
The online fury over 'Fine Shyt' feels like manufactured outrage. Critics calling it misogynistic overlook that countless Bollywood songs have similarly objectified women for decades. Meanwhile, singer Tony Kakkar's sarcastic 'left out' quip was genuinely funny, pointing out his own reputation for guilty-pleasure tracks. The real test is whether Guru Randhawa's album sales dip or this controversy simply boosts streams.
