Washington: Music composer A.R. Rahman has said that he identifies himself with Slumdog Millionaire’s hero – the 18-year-old slum boy who overcomes hardships by winning a fortune on Indian version of ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?’
Rahman, who has been nominated in the Oscars for the songs, "O ... Saya" and "Jai Ho", had to overcome numerous hurdles in his journey from hometown Chennai (formerly Madras) in south INDIA to the Academy Awards.
But insists he takes life positively.
"I can relate to the film because I take life positively and feel that even after great depression something good will come out," ‘CBS’ News quoted him as saying.
The 43-year-old Oscar nominee began to support his family at age 11 after the death of her musician father, as a keyboard player in south Indian film composer Ilaiyaraaja's ensemble.
Before joining the south Indian film composer, Rahman’s mother used to earn livelihood by renting out her husband's musical equipment. He later formed a rock band and toured with prominent Indian musicians like tabla maestro Zakir Hussain.
