Only oneApril 4th, 2010Tags: A.R. Rahman, Himmesh Reshammiya
The other day when I was travelling, A.R. Rahman was my co-passenger. Once I
realised he would be sitting beside me, I switched off my iPod. He was in a
chatty mood so I decided to strike up a conversation and asked him, why does he
sing only one song in every film that he composes the music for? For a moment I
thought the man was going to snap, but he politely replied, “Because I do not
want people to ask me why I sing all the songs!” (No, that was not a dig at
Himmesh Reshammiya, was it?) Rahman also confessed that he loved working at
night because that is when he gets inspired to be at his creative best. He also
told me that though his kids are learning to sing, he isn’t sure whether they
will follow in his footsteps later on. Maybe they secretly want to be actors.I
must tell you I never thought he would be so interesting to chat with. I can’t
spill all the beans about our conversation cos he will label me a snoop. I
can’t risk that cos he invited me to the IPL closing ceremony where he will be
performing with international artistes.
