Reacting to Rahman’s comment that he may have lost work in the Hindi film industry over the past eight years due to “maybe a communal thing,” Bansal alleged that the composer had aligned himself with a particular faction. “It seems that AR Rahman too has become a leader of the faction whose leader was once former Vice President Hamid Ansari,” Bansal said. advertisementBansal further claimed that Ansari had “availed benefits for 10 years and held constitutional posts” and alleged that he “pulled down India” after retirement.

Key Highlights

  • Targeting Rahman, the VHP leader said the composer was once “adored by all Indians and Hindu people” but was now “badmouthing the system and defaming the entire industry” instead of introspecting about why he was not getting work.
  • “He was once a Hindu himself.
  • Why did he convert to Islam?
  • Do ‘gharwapsi’ now.
  • Maybe you will start getting work once again,” Bansal said, adding that such remarks might suit politicians but did not befit an artist. Rahman, in an interview with BBC Asian Network, spoke about feeling like an outsider in Bollywood for years and losing out on projects in the last eight years.
