Meanwhile, in an old interview with Chennai Times, AR Rahman had said that his mother has musically inclined and that she is much higher than him in spiritually. 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 of making me take up music. She made me leave school in Class XI and take up music and it was her conviction that music is the line for me.”
He also revealed that his father passed away when he was nine and since then he was raised by his mother Kareema (born Kasturi). While their relationship was not like in movies hugging each other, they had immense respect for each other.
