Guru Randhawa Responds to Backlash Over 'Fine Shyt' Song Amid Online CriticismPreviousNext

Punjabi singer Guru Randhawa's latest song "Fine Shyt," set in an office with female colleagues dancing around him, has sparked mixed reactions online. Critics have called the song misogynistic and questioned its portrayal of women, while others have mocked its lyrics and title. Guru responded by calling it "a silly little slang" and asked critics to "calm down," embracing the memes and edits. Amid the backlash, he visited the Golden Temple, sharing a message about faith and resilience. Tony Kakkar humorously commented on the trolling, expressing he felt left out.
