Overview

  • Randhawa plays a photography teacher observing a girl portrayed as a school student by Anshika Pandey, with later sequences featuring more revealing choreography.
  • The artist has not issued a public statement, and his Instagram posts now show restricted comments as the dispute grows.
  • The track’s lyrics draw attention for comparing women to alcohol with brand references such as Don Julio, Hennessy and Ciroc.
