AR Rahman shared the unexpected origin of his iconic song 'Khwaja Mere Khwaja,' which was initially composed for a spiritual purpose before being integrated into Jodhaa Akbar. He also revealed the inspiration behind 'Mayya' from Guru, stemming from a spiritual trip, and his desire to collaborate with Lata Mangeshkar, leading to 'Luka Chuppi'.
