Pictures: Sanjaya Discovers Meaning of Life in New Ad

See More... If you've been craving more of "American Idol" season six's Sanjaya Malakar and his ever-changing hairstyles, you can get your fix in his new ad for Nationwide Insurance.

In the new spot for Nationwide's "Life Comes at You Fast" campaign, the "Idol" hopeful (who was known for his faux-hawk and other unusual hairstyles on the show) heads to India to ask a guru for spiritual counsel. The answer? Get a retirement plan and a haircut!

"I’ve got big plans," Sanjaya says in a Q&A with Nationwide. "I just moved to New York and I’m so excited to be living there. I’m looking forward to pursuing some opportunities in acting and modeling. I’m also beginning work on a new album that will be released later this year. I can’t wait for fans to hear it."

The wacky-haired singer says, "I’m looking forward to showing the world a whole new Sanjaya. 'American Idol' was great, but I think there’s a lot more to me than what you saw on the show."

Thanks for mentioning the new Nationwide commercial featuring Sanjaya. Just wanted to let you know that the commercial is now live at Nationwide.com.

We have also just launched a website that allows you to try Sanjaya's unique style for yourself. You upload your photo, then you choose hairstyles, clothing and accessories. At the end, your Sanjaya-ized avatar sings and dances to music from the commercial.
