The film Slumdog Millionaire has been
making headlines for the number of Oscar nominations that it has
garnered and the Golden Globes that it has won. However, this one
individual associated with this film has been blessed with success at
every step that he took in his career. But he has not once taken it for
granted; instead he has worked even harder to outdo himself. He is none
other than A R Rahman.
This month in People magazine, musician
A.R. Rahman opens up about the philosophy that makes him a great
artist. The soft-spoken maestro attributes his success as much to his
tremendous talent as having “ethics, commitment, passion and
friendship”. After taking the international stage by storm with his
score for Slumdog Millionaire, Rahman is now intent on cementing his reputation
further.
Talking about his spiritual side, Rahman says, “It boosts my
confidence, instills humility and detaches me from everything else.” He
in fact credits his father for teaching him to respect people. “My
father was a hard worker and never judged musicians by their
compositions. He had great respect for them as people and I learnt the
same.”
Though it is a Hollywood film that won him international acclaim (the
Golden Globe and Oscar nominations), Rahman says that it is the victory
of the Indian music. “My win is a win for Indian music. And I want to
bring India more and more recognition in the field of music.”
And now though the world is at his feet, for Rahman family comes first.
“It is too exhausting to have many films on hand. We all need a
personal life. I need to spend quality time with my family.”
The magazine also features Rahman’s mother Kareema Begum, who treats
the readers with an inside view of his life, “I have to send my
grandchildren to the studio to remind him to have his food.” That just
goes to show how committed he is towards what he is doing…
So all of us here at Bollywood Hungama say cheers to India’s very own Beethoven.
