A R Rahman speaks his heart

The Anna University honored A R Rahman by conferring a doctorate on the master musician on Saturday at a function at the Madras University Centenary Auditorium.

Speaking in this function, Rahman said that he has been avoiding attending functions in Tamil Nadu keeping in mind the pathetic living conditions of the Sri Lankan Tamils. The Mozart of Madras though was confident that the Sri Lankan Tamil issue will be resolved amicably.

The Oscar winner further added that he was invited for a number of felicitation functions soon after he received his Oscar, but did not take part in any function. He also apologized for hurting the sentiments of the organizers but was firm on his stance not to celebrate when his fellow human beings were suffering in the island nation.
