People in Chennai, the home city of A R Rahman , are ecstatic over the homeboy’s clean sweep at the Oscars.
Youths, kids, old men and women and even the folks who aren’t film buffs are joyous with Rahman’s winning of two Oscars on the Academy night in Los Angeles. As soon as Rahman was declared the winner (around morning time in Chennai) fans came out on the streets and celebrated Rahman’s win by cutting cakes, distributing sweets and bursting crackers.
Family members of Rahman and his fans cut a huge cake right in the middle of the street opposite his house in the Kodambakkam area and burst ‘10,000 wala’ crackers.Students of several city colleges also joined the celebrations distributing sweets while the film fraternity, including singers, hailed his achievement.
Similar scenes of celebrations were witnessed at the house of Rahman’s sister AR Rehana in nearby Virugambakkam area. "We were just waiting for his name to be announced. I was praying to God at that time," an elated Rehana said. "I always wanted him to talk in Tamil after receiving the award and that is the way he spoke; I am happy about it," she said overwhelmed by joy.
