For those unversed, Rahman was super close with his mother and in an interview with IANS he remembered the song 'Maa Tujhe Salaam' and revealed his relationship with his mother. Giving her the credit of his success, Rahman said, "In all lives, the common factor is, not many people have seen the divine, but we are created through our parents. If we have a sound and love in that life where we get the nurturing of a mother and a father, I think we are stable in mind."
"I had this in my mind on how to crack it because I was very objective about it, thinking whether patriotism will work or not. So, I was like, forget about the country, let's do it as a personal song -- like singing a song for one's mother. That's how it was created," AR Rahman added.
