Batting ace Sachin Tendulkar is extremely elated by India's showing
at the Oscars.
"It is a brilliant achievement. For the entire nation, it is a very
proud moment," Tendulkar
said this morning.
The master blaster, who had had a word with A R Rahman a couple of
days ago, was confident that
the musical genius will walk away with the honours.
"Rahman's contribution to music has been immense and this award is
only a mere reflection of
what he has been able to contribute to music and to India.
"I had spoken to him not only about this, but about other albums as
well. He has always been
able to produce something special in every album," Tendulkar said.
Rahman won two Oscars - for the best original score and the best song.
