He included more, “The name A.R. Rahman is not mine. It means merciful. The merciful is the quality of the common God we all have and one can only be the servant of the merciful. So let that name bring peace, prosperity, happiness, and health to all the people living in Canada. God bless you all.”
That open letter is a shout-out for everyone who is in some ways associated with Rahman or his works. He is one of the most decent humans being concluded the letter by saying, “I feel like this gives me immense responsibility to do much more and be inspiring; not to get tired and not to retire… yet. Even if I get tired I’ll remember that I have more things to do, more people to connect, more bridges to cross.”
