An Oscar ain't enough for the "Mozart of Film Music." Among the truckloads of trophies lining his shelves, another honour will soon occupy pride of place. The Padma Bhushan!
A R Rahman earns the third highest civilian honour of India for his exemplary contribution to music. Incidentally, Rahman shares this honour with Ilayaraja, his mentor!
A visibly thrilled Rahman stated in a newspaper inter phew, "I'm overwhelmed that I have received the honour at the same time that Raja sir has got it. It is a great personal statement for me . He has played for my father Sekhar and I have played under Raja sir. It is a family thing for me."
