AR Rahman Addresses BBC Interview Controversy, Says Remarks Were Misunderstood
Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman has addressed the recent controversy surrounding his comments about receiving limited work offers in Bollywood, following backlash after his interview with BBC Asian Network.
The composer took to Instagram to share a video message, clarifying that his words were misinterpreted and reiterating that his commitment has always been to celebrate and honour Indian culture through music.
“Dear friends, music has always been my way of connecting, celebrating and honouring a culture. India is my inspiration, my teacher and my home. I understand that intentions can sometimes be misunderstood, but my purpose has always been to uplift, honour and serve through music. I have never wished to cause pain and I hope my sincerity is felt,” Rahman said.
Emphasising his continued dedication to Indian music and creative collaboration, Rahman highlighted several of his recent initiatives. These include Jhalaa, presented at the Wave Summit in the presence of the Honourable Prime Minister, Ruh-e-Noor, collaborations with young Naga musicians to form a string orchestra, mentoring the Sunshine Orchestra, and building Secret Mountain, India’s first multicultural virtual band. He also spoke about the honour of scoring Ramayana alongside internationally acclaimed composer Hans Zimmer.
The controversy stemmed from Rahman’s earlier remarks to the BBC, where he spoke about decision-making in the industry shifting away from creative individuals. He mentioned that projects sometimes slipped away due to behind-the-scenes changes, adding light-heartedly that it allowed him to spend more time with his family.
Known for maintaining a dignified silence during controversies, Rahman chose once again not to name or target any individuals who criticised him. Instead, he opted for a calm and conciliatory response, making it clear that he does not wish to escalate the issue.
By addressing the matter with grace, Rahman underlined that his focus remains on creating meaningful music and reaffirmed that India continues to be his greatest source of inspiration.
