The media surrounded him and he took time to answer them. “As a Tamilian, to have won an Oscar makes me so proud. I do not like to distinguish as Tamil or Hindi. I want everyone to be as one. Even if I go to Bollywood or Hollywood , I never forget Tamil cinema. After receiving the Oscars, I have got 3 Hollywood offers to compose music. I am grateful to everyone to have come at this hour to welcome me,” said Rehman. ‘Jai Ho’
