I vividly remember this specific performance as it was one of the first times I got to perform an ‘AR Rahman’ song I’ve originally sung at an ‘AR Rahman’ concert with ‘AR Rahman’ himself. The song was Mental Manadhil, and it was my first ever Tamil film song. I owe so much to this incredible human, including my exposure to Kollywood and Tamil audiences amongst so many other inexplicable lessons and experiences. Every single interaction with him, on stage and off stage, is special. Happy birthday AR Rahman Sir,” she wrote.
