It was February 2019, when music composer and singer A.R. Rahman completed a decade of winning two Oscars for his work in the Hollywood drama, Slumdog Millionaire, but trolls being trolls, focused more on calling him out for making his daughter, Khatija Rahman, wear a Burqa.
If you all remember, this is how the composer gave it back to all the people who were questioning him on this decision. He took to his Twitter account and shared a picture of the precious ladies of his family. He wrote- "The precious ladies of my family Khatija, Raheema and Sairaa with NitaAmbaniji. (sic). This was followed by the hashtag- Freedom to Choose.
