As one grows in fame and stature, the way they conduct themselves speaks volumes than what they really achieved. This could be clearly seen from the way A R Rahman reacted emotionally after accepting the first Oscar for his exceptional work in ‘Slumdog Millionaire’.
In these days where the educated elite do not wish to speak in native language what Rahman did was indeed an eye-opener and indeed will ridicule today’s Bollywood lot which comes on the news for writing their Hindi text in English.
He emotionally said, “Ellapogazhum Iraivanuke” in Tamil meaning ‘May all praise belongs to the Almighty’.
As this is first ever Oscars for him he appeared emotionally not under control and started saying “Mere paas Maa Hai”, a popular dialogue in Hindi movie and explained, “I’ve my mother who showers all her blessings. I’m really glad”.
This music maestro fulfilled his wife’s long time dream by winning two Oscars, one for his Best Original Score and other for his Best Original Song, ‘Jai Ho’.
