Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman’s ‘social’ lyrics have created a new controversy.

Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman’s ‘social’ lyrics have created a new controversy. Following Rahman’s claim that he had ‘lost work’ in Bollywood in the last 8 years due to ‘social problems’, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) national spokesperson Vinod Bansal launched a scathing attack on the composer and suggested him to do ‘Ghar Vapasi’ and convert from Islam to Hinduism.
What did Vinod Bansal say?
Vinod Bansal suggested ‘gharwapsi’ to AR Rahman if he wanted to work with him again. “He (AR Rahman) was also a Hindu once. Why did he convert to Islam? Now do ‘gharwapsi’. Maybe you will start finding a job again,” Bansal said.
Making allegations against the composer, Bansal said that AR Rahman was aligned with a group that ‘speaks ill’ of India and the system.
The VHP leader said the composer was once “admired by all Indians and Hindus” but now instead of introspecting on why he is not getting work, he is “speaking ill of the system and maligning the entire industry”.
Bansal concludes his words as follows: ‘Such trivial statements can be made by a politician, they do not suit an artist.’
