Anup Jalota to AR Rahman: "Become Hindu Again" Amidst 'Communal Bias' Row

  • AR Rahman sparked controversy by suggesting a 'communal bias' might be affecting his work in Hindi cinema due to political power shifts.
  • Veteran singer Anup Jalota disagreed with Rahman's claim, stating that he achieved great fame after converting to Islam.
  • Jalota suggested Rahman should convert back to Hinduism if he believes his current faith is hindering his film opportunities.
  • Rahman had previously indicated that he felt a 'power shift' in the last eight years led to non-creative people making decisions, potentially with communal undertones.
  • Rahman later clarified his statement, emphasizing India as his inspiration and that his intention was to uplift through music, not cause pain.

Why It Matters: Anup Jalota controversially advised AR Rahman to convert back to Hinduism if he feels religious bias affects his career.
