Recently, singer and actor Guru Randhawa found himself in an online spat with self-proclaimed film critic Kamaal R Khan (KRK) on X (formerly known as Twitter). The exchange of harsh words between the two began after KRK commented on Guru’s upcoming Punjabi film Shahkot, which also stars Isha Talwar and Raj Babbar. KRK, known for his abrasive and often controversial remarks, took a jab at Guru by calling him a "dhobi" and a "2 Rs actor," implying that he was more suited to washing clothes than acting. This provocation didn’t sit well with Guru, who responded in kind.
Guru initially tried to keep his response civil, stating, “Bhai, aap mere se bade ho, but aapse mein bilkul bhi inspired nahi hoon” (Brother, you are older than me, but I am not at all inspired by you). He advised KRK to watch his film first before passing judgment, adding that KRK’s tweet was “worth 2 Rs,” a jab at the critic's own harsh words. However, the spat didn’t end there. KRK continued to insult Guru, claiming he was the “No. 1 critic in the world” and once again referring to Guru as a “2 Rs actor.” Guru replied by calling out KRK’s disrespect, saying, “Aapko mein abhi bhi bhai bol raha hoon” (I’m still calling you brother) and suggesting that KRK had yet to face a Punjabi like him.

Apka tweet 2 rs ka tha https://t.co/9A6KbiPHce
KRK is no stranger to online controversies. Over the years, he has had public feuds with several Bollywood stars, including a heated exchange with actor Abhishek Bachchan. In 2022, KRK made headlines after being arrested twice—first for allegedly making offensive comments about late actors Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor, and later for accusations related to sexually assaulting his fitness trainer.

Lagta hai kisi punjabi ke saath apka samna nhi hua..
Kaun 2rs hai , sab jante hain https://t.co/wH7g4dxCZJ
Despite his limited acting career, which includes the 2008 film Deshdrohi and a supporting role in the 2014 movie Ek Villain, KRK has gained notoriety more for his inflammatory opinions and social media presence. While his remarks often stir up controversy, Guru Randhawa’s composed yet firm responses to KRK’s jibes demonstrate his ability to maintain dignity in the face of provocation.
