One might wonder if YouTube removes videos for such issues. Yes, YouTube can remove any video due to copyright claims. Even if you've used someone's photo or a clip in your video without their permission and they file a copyright claim, such videos can be removed.

In the song's initial popularity, actress Vajdan Raav Rangad faced a significant amount of trolling. Speaking about the song, Vajdan commented, 'Unfortunately, I performed in this song. I am being trolled and questioned as to why I did it. To which I reply that I didn't have enough money to buy clothes for Eid, and doing this song was a better choice than stealing.'

As for Chahat Fateh Ali Khan, real name Kashif Rana, born in March 1965, is being extensively researched online. He has sung many songs, but 'Bado Badi', because of becoming part of meme culture, went viral.
