Ayush Malik, a businessman’s son in Uttar Pradesh’s Shamli, who previously announced his conversion to Islam and adopted the name “Mohammad Ali,” has returned to Hinduism. Reports say he performs puja at home, and a video circulated online shows him addressing family members and expressing remorse, particularly toward his mother. In the video, he says his decision to revert is voluntary and references having seen his family’s distress after the earlier change in religion.
According to the coverage, Malik’s initial conversion and a subsequent marriage triggered widespread attention and led to legal action under Uttar Pradesh’s anti-conversion law. The current reports describe his return to Hinduism as a personal step carried out within his household, without adding details on the status or outcome of the earlier case.
Both outlets present the development as a public reversal of his earlier religious identity, supported by footage of religious observance and statements explaining his reasoning.
