'Insane' is how AR Rahman has described his twin Grammy win on his Twitter
page. Rahman won best compilation soundtrack for a motion picture at the 52nd
Grammy Awards and 'Jai Ho' won best motion picture song. Rahman shares the
Grammy with lyricist Gulzar who penned 'Jai Ho' for the film Slumdog
Millionaire.
Admitting that he had 'never even dreamt about winning all these awards..',
Rahman has thanked his well wishers for inspiring him to greater success. "And
all my well wishers from the world who keep me going... Jaiho India...!"
Besides his spiritual Sufi teacher Ameen Peerullah Malik Sahib,
the music maestro has also expressed his gratitude to Slumdog
Millionaire director Danny Boyle, the film's creative team and cast. Others who
find mention in his tweets include sound engineer Resul Pookutty (he won the
Academy Award for Best Sound Mixing for the film Slumdog Millionaire), lyricist
Gulzar and 'Jai Ho' singer Sukvinder Singh.
According to Rahman, he owes his success to a number of people, among them some
noted personalities from Bollywood and Hollywood. "My mentors Maniratnam,
Shekhar Kapur and Subhash Ghai, and mentor in the west, Andrew Lloyd
WebberFolks at id-PR, Allison and Courtney," he tweets.
Rahman has not forgotten his family in the excitement of the moment. "y
extraordinary musicians from Chennai and Mumbai, My mother, My father, my
Sisters and my lovely wife and children," he writes on his Twitter page.
Meanwhile Twitter is abuzz with Rahman's latest triumph. "Jai Ho" Rahman for
the Grammy!! One more feather in your cap :)" tweets 'ananthnaag'. According to
'deeptinischal' Rahman "rocks". And 'Shankarnb @arrahman' tweets that Rahman's
win symbolises "the success of aspirations of every Indian".
Celebrities are also using the micro-blogging site to congratulate Rahman.

debate that has surrounded Slumdog Millionaire, the film that has brought such
accolade for Rahman's musical genius.
"Was slumdogmillionaire an indian film. And if not, why not?" he tweets.
Jai Ho has won Rahman a number of prestigious international awards including
two Oscars, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA), Critics
Choice Award and the Golden Globe.
