tribute arr @GIMA.

ARR was awarded a special momento at the GIMA 2012 which was handed over by Yash Chopra for completing 20 years in Film Music.
Yashji was all praise for Rahman and said he was very fortunate and proud to have him compose for JTHJ....


Before this...a special musical tribute was performed by Singers & Musicians from Roja to Rockstar. It was a Medley of beautiful songs and was so refreshing to see all vintage singers performing.
Started of with Lagaan theme, followed by "Dil hai chhota sa" by Sadhna Sargam. She was joined by Hariharan for "Chanda re". Then Naveen took his magical flute to play the Bombay theme which was merged by "Tu hi re". Udit Narayan entered with "Mitwa" and Alka Yagnik complemented him.She then rendered the beautiful "Mehndi hai rachnewali" which got the loudest applause. Naresh Iyer's "Robaroo" got the house completely grooving and Mohit's "Saadda Haq" was the anthem of the evening. After all this heavy music...Sonu Nigam entered from the audience with just his voice singing a prelude to "Saathiya". This was the highlight as the entire somg was sung in Acapella style with no music but only Vocals & Chorus. Finally all singers joined in to sing "Jai ho" and calling Rahman on stage...This was the best gift and a pleasant surprise for ARR!
Do watch out the telecast whenever its gonna happen...

AR Rahman: Two decades and counting

The Mumbai rains refused to dampen the spirits of spirited attendees at the 6th Annual Global Indian Music Awards (GiMA) held at Yash Raj Studios on Monday night.

The ceremony, hosted by Saif Ali Khan and Parineeti Chopra, featured stellar performances by celebrated musicians and Bollywood stars.



There was a special act dedicated to the musical maestro A.R. Rahman for completing 20 years in the industry.

The Mozart of Madras was was felicitated by none other than veteran Yash Chopra. Renowned singers like Alka Yagnik, Hariharan, Udit Narayan, Naresh Iyer, Mohit Chauhan, Chitra, Sonu Niigaam came together to honour the music legend with a heartwarming performance to some of his popular chartbuster hits like Dil Hai Chota Sa, Tu Hi Re, Chanda Re Chande Re, Mitwa, Mehndi Hai Rachne Wali, Ru Ba Ru, Saathiya, Sadda Haq and Jai Ho.

On the special tribute given to him, A.R. Rahman says, “I had a hint about the tribute but I did not realize that it will create such huge nostalgia. I have learnt a lot from all these singers who have touched my heart today. I still remember the day of my first concert in 1996 when most of the singers who sang today came to watch me. I really thank GiMA for this. I am truly touched.”


Music maestro A.R. Rahman’s other half loves perfumes, we hear. And sources close to her reveal that her collection can rival some of the most ardent perfume collectors in the world.

It seems she’s so well acquainted with scents and fragrances that she can easily tell a person what he or she is wearing.

But the lady who is spiritual and has a strict no-alcohol policy, shops only for oil based perfumes which contain no alcohol.

The friend who was fortunate enough to receive the fragrances revealed that Saira is generous and loves having people experience the power of perfumes.

“She believes in the healing qualities of a good perfumed oil. The ones she buys are very soothing and long lasting too.”
