Cinema VinesIndian pop star Guru Randhawa has once again found himself in the spotlight, this time for the backlash surrounding his new single “Fine Shyt.” The track, released in early 2026, has drawn sharp criticism from social media users who called it “cringe” and accused the singer of promoting misogyny towards female office workers. Despite the negative comments, Randhawa has remained defiant, posting a series of Instagram updates that show him unfazed by the controversy.
In a recent Instagram post, Randhawa shared a photo of himself in a white shirt, captioning it with a mix of bravado and self‑confidence: “SISU MINDSET AND MOVES….!!! Also tell all of them to make some new strategy against me…….this one didnt work!! In my own lane….One vs All 🔥 Rare Like PAGANI. 2025 was 2026 is and rest of the years are mine!!! Finest Shyttttt.” The caption was accompanied by a clip of the singer driving a Porsche across a desert, where he added, “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 music video for “Fine Shyt,” a collaboration with Yashvi Desai, opens with a disclaimer that all participants are over 18 and that the content is fictional. Set in an office environment, the video portrays Randhawa as a senior professional surrounded by a group of young female colleagues who dance and sing around him. Critics argue that the visuals sexualise the workplace and question the portrayal of women in the video.
Randhawa’s response to the criticism has been to ignore the negative chatter. He has also received a lighthearted jab from fellow singer Tony Kakkar, who posted a video joking about the controversy. Kakkar pretended to be on a phone call with Randhawa 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.”
While the song’s lyrics were penned by Randhawa and Gurjit Gill, the video’s cast includes Ruhee Dosani, Divinity Bisht, Arshia Sinha, Raema Grover, Darlene Laura, and Mehar Kaur. The combination of a catchy beat and a controversial visual narrative has kept “Fine Shyt” at the center of a heated debate about artistic freedom, workplace representation, and the responsibilities of pop culture icons in India.
