In the music video for Azul, Guru Randhawa plays a photographer who visits an all-girls school for their class photo. What should have been an innocent moment that school girls witness every year was turned into a \u2018sexualised, pornographic and problematic\u2019 fantasy. Sonam Kapoor agrees as well.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">A news publication took to Instagram to share how Guru not only sexualised school girls but also compared them to various alcohol brands \u2013 available for sale. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DN4tU8jk8lO\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\" rel=\"nofollow\">The post<\/a> quickly went viral and even caught the attention of Sonam Kapoor. The actress reacted to the post by dropping a \u2018like\u2019. Have a look here:<\/p>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-28-at-2.21.00-PM-2025-08-41169efed81967004b3f7956aa77ad9c.jpeg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">Guru Randhawa has been receiving intense backlash since the release of the video. Many women have called out the singer for his \u201cproblematic&#8221; depiction of young girls. Some even said that the video only promotes the idea of harassment and sexualisation of minors. Although the women in the video are adults, they are portraying young, school-going girls in a school setting.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">One person wrote on Instagram, \u201cThis is the first thing that shocked me when I saw the music video. It\u2019s 2025, and ppl still don\u2019t understand the implications of such things floating around on social media. Literally, school kids are consuming this message that sexualizing school girls is okay!!&#8221; Another added, \u201cI was horrified watching the video song. How is something so unacceptable being normalised?&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-28-at-2.51.22-PM-1-2025-08-328c9d33aa0f1111cb70f712508135d2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-28-at-2.52.12-PM-2025-08-55c2c33751fd517d3298d2b9b8751e97.jpeg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">Another person wrote, \u201cPeople don\u2019t realise that cinema and music have a very significant impact on people, especially in India, and we see the results of it in the behaviour of men in our society. These artists don\u2019t care about the social impact. They just care that their music sells, and videos like this make them money in the end.&#8221; One comment read, \u201cSociety then uses these very portrayals to justify controlling girls rather than educating boys\u2026 It\u2019s socially dangerous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Guru Randhawa is yet to react to the backlash. However, the singer has been sharing posts on how the song has become a top trend in India. The song was released on August 6 people started to call out the video. On August 9, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DNIxVzGqVnU\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\" rel=\"nofollow\">Guru shared a photo<\/a> with the main dancer from the video, which was liked by Tamannaah Bhatia.\u00a0Earlier this week, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DNvWbdgWJXZ\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==\" rel=\"nofollow\">Guru shared a clip<\/a> from the song\u2019s shoot.

Meanwhile, Guru\u2019s song has been receiving both love and backlash. While the singer has constantly thanked fans for their love, he has not reacted to the backlash.
