NDTV: A R Rehman has been called the Mozart of India but now he has been
nominated for a Golden Globe. Is Rehman putting us on the map, finding global
acceptance that was long over due?
Shah Rukh Khan: Absolutely, I think some of the miss worlds and universes-
Aishwarya Rai and Sushmita Sen, I am talking only in terms of the media,
creative world and the modeling world . We got very far on the world map
because of the presence of these two ladies and then further on lots of girls
have done very well for us. I think Rehman is a true genius. He has been
working hard for years and has been going some really different kind of music.
I have been working with him and am very fond of him. I think that is time that
some one like Rehman, if he is recogonised internationally it would be rightly
so, deservingly so. If there is some one who has to get a golden globe from
India for the first time then there is no one better than Rehman to get it so
inshahallah. Even if he does not get I think he is the Mozart of the world not
just of India.
