AR Rahman’s Dream Come True

AR Rahman took over the Golden Globes and now he will sweep away all the coveted titles at the Oscars.

“What can I say? It’s a dream come true not so much for me as my wife. She’d wake up in the middle of the night and say, ‘I want you to win an Oscar’. And I’d just smile. Today my wife’s dream seems a possibility,” Rahman said.

“But I don’t want to get too hopeful,” he quickly added. “Let’s just rejoice for the nomination at the moment. I’m happy not just for myself but Gulzar sahab who has been nominated for the lyrics of Jai ho. I wish Javed sahab had got nominated too. If he had written a song in Slumdog Millionaire I’m sure he too would’ve been nominated,” the music director said.

“My wife and children jumped with joy when they heard the announcement. And my mother is also here with me. It’s all her prayers and support and her upbringing that’s bearing fruit now,” he said.

You deserve every bit of this Rahman… Jai Ho!
