A R RAHMAN , the music maestro, created history on Sunday night as he became The first Indian to win the prestigious Golden Globe Award for Best Original Music Score for Danny Boyle’s Slumdog Millionaire. Rahman’s song ‘Jai Ho,’ penned by lyricist Gulzar, was nominated for Best Original Music Score. India-based story of an underdog, the Danny Boyle-directed Slumdog Millionaire has begun its winning spree, first bagging the award for the Best Screenplay category (Simon Beaufoy) and then for the Best Original Score (A R Rahman).



The Indian connection does not end here. Bollywood’s King Khan, Shah Rukh Khan will present an award at the ceremony. The film is based on a novel by Indian diplomat Vikash Swarup and stars Bollywood actors Anil Kapoor & Irrfan Khan in lead among others.
