Dhinchak Pooja songs go missing on YouTube
Fans of YouTube singing sensation Dhinchak Pooja are in for a disappointment as all her songs have been wiped off YouTube. All videos have been taken down due to copyright claims by a certain 'Kathappa Singh' who reported these videos to YouTube. However, there is still some flicker of hope (pun intended) as her latest 'Dilon Ka Shooter' is still there on YouTube.

Dhinchak Pooja broke the internet with songs like 'Swag Wali Topi' and 'Selfie Maine Le Li Aaj'. Her songs were unique as this diva didn't even try to sing in tune or stick to a tempo; "She was so bad, she was good" people said. Given the virality of her 'selfie' song, she released 'Dillon ka shooter' which was a hit too.
