Initially, people mocked the song and its unusual composition, but it soon became a favorite for creating memes and funny posts. The music video starred model Wajdan Rao and became a viral sensation, amassing over 28 million views in a month.
The song's viral journey began in May 2024, when short reels and clips from the video started circulating on social media. Despite the initial ridicule, the quirky nature of the song caught on, and it turned into a humorous pastime for many. However, the fun was short-lived as it was discovered that the melody and composition of 'Bado Badi' closely resembled a song from the 1973 film 'Banarsi Thug,' originally performed by Noor Jehan.
This similarity led to allegations of copyright infringement. According to reports, it was Noor Jehan's team that initiated the copyright strike against Khan, resulting in the removal of the video from YouTube and other social media
