# Shocking Advice: Anup Jalota Tells AR Rahman to "Become Hindu Again" to Revive Bollywood Career! **Imagine converting back to Hinduism just to land more film gigs**—that's the bold, eyebrow-raising suggestion from veteran singer Anup Jalota amid AR Rahman's latest controversy.[1] The drama unfolded when Oscar-winning composer **AR Rahman** opened up in a BBC Asian Network interview about potentially facing prejudice in Bollywood. Rahman hinted at a "power shift" over the past eight years, where "people who are not creative have the power now," and suggested it "might be a communal thing also."[1] He even took a swipe at the film *Chhaava* for cashing in on "divisiveness." Social media exploded—some backed Rahman's honesty, while others fired back with personal attacks.[1] Enter **Anup Jalota**, the bhajan maestro, who dropped a viral video response that's stirring the pot even more. Acknowledging Rahman's journey from Hinduism to Islam—and his massive success—Jalota quipped: "Music director A.R. Rahman was a Hindu. After that, he accepted Islam. He worked a lot, made a lot of names... But if they believe that in our country, because of being a Muslim, they are not getting films... then should they become Hindus again? So my suggestion is that they become Hindus and then try to get films again."[1][2] Jalota also slammed Rahman's bias claim, highlighting how Rahman achieved 25 years of work in just five years of peak fame.[3]
