Music maestro AR Rahman’s mother Kareema Begum passed away in Chennai, India. Rahman confirmed the news by sharing a photograph of his mother on Twitter.
Rahman was extremely close to his mother and in one of his interviews, he had revealed that it was his mother who realised that he would take up music in future.
In an earlier interview, he said, "She has music instincts. Spiritually, she is much higher than me in the way she thinks and takes decisions. For instance, her decision to make me take up music. She made me leave school and take up music. It was her conviction that music is the line for me."
He had also added that their relationship was not like in movies where the mother and son constantly hugged each other. But, at the same time, they had immense respect for each other. Rahman was raised by his mother Kareema Begum after his father, music conductor RK Shekhar passed away when he was only 9-years-old.
Our deepest condolences to the composer AR Rahman & his family.
