Bollywood cheers as Rahman scoops double Grammys

The Hindi film industry is elated after music maestro A.R. Rahman triumphed at the 52nd annual Grammy Awards by scooping two golden gramophones. From Gulzar and Javed Akhtar to Shyam Benegal and Subhash Ghai, all feel he has taken Indian music places and made the country proud.
Members of Bollywood praised the dedication of the 44-year-old, who is also a double Oscar winner. This is what they had to say.
Gulzar: We all are very proud of him. This magical musician has brought more honour to India, his family, fans, friends and his entire team. Such a young man has made his mark on the music map of the world. All of us should put him on our shoulders.
Javed Akhtar: He is great! Rahman has taken India’s music places.
Imtiaz Ali: It fills me with pride. Also makes me think if he is getting this much accolade for ‘Jai ho’, wonder what the reaction of the West will be when they discover the rest of Rahman? I’m waiting to see the man go from strength to strength.
Shyam Benegal: Fantastic…Rahman is the greatest.
