Guru Randhawa's latest song, Azul, has piqued everyone's interest, but the singer is currently mired in a scandal for sexualizing schoolgirls as an adult. Guru Randhawa stars in the music video for Azul as a photographer who attends an all-girls school to take their class portrait. What should have been an innocent event witnessed by schoolgirls each year was transformed into a sexualised, pornographic, and disturbing' fantasy. Sonam Kapoor agrees as well.
A news outlet took to Instagram to share how Guru not only sexualized schoolgirls, but also associated them with various alcohol brands for sale. The post rapidly went viral, attracting the attention of Sonam Kapoor. The actress responded to the post by clicking 'like'.
Guru Randhawa has faced severe criticism after the video's publication. Many ladies have criticised the singer's "problematic" portrayal of young girls. Some even claimed that the film promotes harassment and sexualization of youngsters. Although the women in the film are adults, they are portraying young, school-aged girls in a school environment.
