*'Rahman is the best'* * * March 10, 2009 11:56 IST W*e asked readers<http://www.rediff.com/movies/2009/mar/06met-a-r-rahman.htm>if they had ever met Oscar winning composer A R Rahman [Images <http://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=a r rahman>], and we got quite a response.* *
Shyam Shivadas writes in to say that he met Rahman during a reality show a few months ago. He shares his memories:* I was fortunate to meet A R Rahman during the launch of a band hunt reality show -- The Big Band Hunt -- held in Delhi [Images<http://search.rediff.com/imgsrch/default.php?MT=delhi> ] a couple of months back. Rahman was conducting the reality show in association with Phat Phish across seven countries. I was coordinating the media interviews at the event and had to occasionally approach him to inform him about the schedule and mode of interviews. He was very down-to-earth with no airs of being a maestro in the field. He was in Delhi only for a few hours, and so he requested me to rush up with interviews. Very soft-spoken with a soft and gentle smile, he obliged whoever approached him for an autograph or photograph. He made me comfortable enough to put my hand across his shoulders for a snap with my colleagues Deepika and Garima. I often interact with stars in my profession but not someone like him. He is the best. *Keep those memories coming <moviesrev...@rediff.co.in> in. The world would love to hear about Rahman* http://inhome.rediff.com/movies/2009/mar/10rahman-is-the-best.htm -- regards, Vithur
