Guru Randhawa released a new song, titled Azul, which has caught everybosy's attention. The singer is being questioned by netizens for sexualising school girls as a grown man in the music video. In Azul, Guru Randhawa plays the role of a photographer visiting an all-girls school to take their class photograph. What could have been an innocent and routine moment was instead portrayed as a "sexualised, and problematic" fantasy, sparking criticism online.
A news outlet highlighted the issue on Instagram, pointing out how the video not only sexualised schoolgirls but also compared them to different alcohol brands – as if they were items for sale. The post quickly went viral, drawing widespread attention, including from actress Sonam Kapoor, who showed her agreement by dropping a ‘like’ on it.

Interestingly, the comments section on his Instagram posts has now been restricted, possibly in response to the wave of criticism and intense discussions surrounding the music video.
