Popular Punjabi singer Guru Randhawa is once again at the centre of a social media controversy, this time over his latest track ‘Fine Shyt’. Released on August 6, 2026, the song has attracted attention not just for its music but also for its corporate-office-themed video, with some social media users criticising the portrayal of women and certain lyrics.
Instead of backing down amid the criticism, Guru Randhawa has responded to his detractors with a confident social media post, making it clear that the trolling has not affected his outlook.
Guru Randhawa’s Sharp Response to Critics
Amid the backlash, Guru Randhawa shared a new picture on social media along with a strong message. He wrote, “SISU mindset and moves... and tell them to make a new strategy against me, this one didn't work.”
He further described himself as “alone against everyone” and compared himself to a rare Pagani, adding that 2025 was his, 2026 is his and the coming years will also be his.
The post reflects the singer’s confidence despite the criticism surrounding his latest release. Rather than addressing the backlash directly, Randhawa appears to be choosing a defiant response, suggesting that the controversy has not shaken his confidence in his work.
‘Fine Shyt’ Reaches No. 2 on YouTube Music Trending
Released on August 6, ‘Fine Shyt’ is a 2-minute-21-second track that climbed to the No. 2 spot on the YouTube Music Trending chart.
However, the song soon became a talking point for reasons beyond its music. The title itself comes from internet and Gen Z slang, commonly used to describe someone considered extremely attractive.
The track uses the phrase as part of its glamorous and flirtatious presentation, while the accompanying music video places the singer in an unusual corporate setting.
Corporate Office Setting Draws Attention
The music video features Guru Randhawa alongside Yashvi Desai and content creator Ruhee Dosani. Set inside a corporate office, Randhawa plays a senior employee surrounded by young female colleagues who are seen dancing around him.
While the video is clearly designed as a stylised and satirical take on the workplace environment, the portrayal has drawn criticism from a section of social media users.
Critics have questioned the way women and workplace dynamics have been presented, turning what was intended as a glamorous music video into a debate about representation and corporate culture.
The Disclaimer That Couldn’t Stop the Backlash
The makers appear to have anticipated possible criticism, adding a tongue-in-cheek disclaimer at the beginning of the video.
It states that all the characters, including Guru Randhawa, are above 18 and describes the events as fictional and satirical. Viewers are also jokingly warned against recreating the scenes in their real-life 9-to-5 workplaces, with a reference to possible HR action.
The disclaimer ends with the line, “No corporate policies were harmed.”
Despite the humorous warning, it failed to completely prevent criticism online, with users continuing to debate the video’s concept and presentation.
Is Controversy Becoming Part of the Conversation Around His Music?
With ‘Fine Shyt’, the debate has once again shifted from the music itself to the visuals, lyrics and the creative choices behind the video.
At the same time, the song’s strong performance on YouTube Music suggests that controversy has not stopped people from watching and discussing it. Guru Randhawa’s latest ‘SISU mindset’ post further shows that he has no intention of allowing the criticism to dictate his response.
Whether the controversy fades after the initial social media backlash or becomes another long-running debate around the singer remains to be seen. For now, ‘Fine Shyt’ is trending—and so is the conversation surrounding it.
