Punjabi music sensation Guru Randhawa finds himself caught in a whirlwind of controversy. His latest track, “Azul,” has drawn a lot of fire. The uproar centers around the video’s portrayal of a teacher and a student. Now, Randhawa has posted a mysterious message online. It has everyone talking.
The music video for “Azul” features Randhawa as a photography teacher. He is getting ready to snap a group photo of his students. He waits for one student, played by Anshika Pandey. She arrives in a school uniform. Then, she performs a dance. Randhawa’s character is shown watching her moves. Later, she changes into casual clothes. She performs a bold dance routine. Anshika’s actual age is not publicly known. However, many people are upset. They feel her role as a school student in the video suggests something inappropriate. Critics have accused Randhawa of promoting the alleged sexual exploitation of minors.
Amidst these heavy criticisms, Randhawa posted on his Instagram story. Many see it as his way of responding to the backlash. He did not directly mention the controversy. Instead, he shared a screenshot of “Azul’s” performance metrics. The image showed that the song racked up over 107,200 views in just one hour. It also had more than 27,000 searches on YouTube.
On the same Instagram story, Randhawa added a short, impactful message. He wrote, “Azul is Azuling.” He then continued, “When God is with you, you only move forward.” He completed his post with heart and celebration emojis. This suggests he is shrugging off the negativity.
“Azul” isn’t the only song causing trouble for the singer. Another one of Randhawa’s songs, “Sira,” has also faced criticism. Its lyrics have been called offensive. A local court in Ludhiana has taken notice of a complaint. They have summoned Guru Randhawa to appear on September 2. It seems the popular artist is navigating a rocky path. He is dealing with both public outrage and legal challenges.
