What’s the controversy all about?
The narrative and images in the music video are what sparked the issue. Guru Randhawa plays a photography teacher in the video. Actress Anshika Pandey, who appears in a school uniform and does a dance routine for Randhawa’s character, is the part of the scene that has received the most criticism.
The visual depiction has been extensively attacked for its portrayal of a photographer being “visibly captivated” by a school student, which many viewers feel to be a highly inappropriate topic.
The singer has not issued an official comment on the incident or directly addressed the matter. But in response to the criticism, he chose to disable his Instagram account’s comment feature.
