Anup Jalota  is a name synonymous with bhajans in India. The Padma Shri awardee is popular for his ghazals but mostly for his bhajans. Aisi Lagi Lagan, Jag Mein Sundar Hai Do Naam, Rang De Chunariya, Maiyya Mori Main Nahi Maakhan Khayo are his some of popular bhajans. Everything was calm until he decided to appear in controversial show Bigg Boss and that too with his 'alleged girlfriend' Jasleen Matharu.  This took everyone by surprise and in no time, Anup Jalota became one of the most talked about celebrities on internet. Even in Bigg Boss house, Jasleen and Anup Jalota became one of the hit jodis.  Unaware how "Guru-shishya jodi turned into 'love Jodi," said Anup Jalota 

After hogging the limelight in Colors' show Bigg Boss Season 12, the popular singer appeared as a guest on India TV's popular show Aap Ki Adalat, where he spilled the beans on his relationship with Jasleen. He spoke openly on many things and defended himself against several allegations. Along with it, he also entertained audience with his songs.
