Good god! I didn't know he actually said " let see how long will this 'kid' last".
While there is no questioning his musical genius, he has not yet come to terms with Rahman's success and the fact that he is receiving the Padma Bhushan along with a Rahman. After the Oscars felicitation speech, I was wondering who are we felicitating here? Balamurali Krishna? Or that IR has a raaga named after him? It's really obvious and sad. Another person I feel hasn't come to terms with Rahman's success Kamal. In the VTV music launch, I don't even recall him mentioning Rahman's name. Compare that Rahman's mention, "I hope I meet the standards set by Gautam - Harris." Both IR and Kamal are giants in their respective fields and great entertainers, but you have to respect other's success too. I don't mean to bash them, and certainly this is not the forum for that. Just sharing my grievance since we are in this topic.
