Famous Bollywood music composer A.R Rahman has won two Grammy Awards for his song ‘Jai Ho’ of the movie ‘Slumdog Millionaire’. First Oscar and now Grammy Awards, Rahman has told the world that Bollywood is no less than Hollywood.

The 44 year old Indian composer won the awards at the dazzling 52nd Annual Grammy awards ceremony in Los Angeles. He won two Grammy in the Best Compilation Soundtrack for a motion picture and the Best Motion Picture Song categories. Excited but humble, Rahman said, “This is insane, god is great again”.

This was the special moment for Rahman, as he was nominated first time in Grammy Awards and won 2 awards together. Though, Grammy Awards are familiar with many legendry Indian classical musicians like Pandit Ravi Shankar, Zakir Jussain, Vikku Vinayak and Vishvamohan Bhatt who had already won the Grammy in the past. But this was the first time when any Bollywood musician won the prestigious Grammy Awards.

Rahman’s song ‘Jai Ho’, sung by Sukhvinder Singh, Tanvi Shah, Mahalaxmi Iyer, Vijay Prakash and Rahman, became an international hit last year. Steve Jordan for ‘Cadillac Records,’ Quentin Tarantino for ‘Inglourious Basterds’ gave tough competition to Rahman in best soundtrack category.

In the best song category Rahman faced competition from international Crooner Bruce Springsteen for his song ‘The Wrestler’. But outshining all the competitors, Rahman walked away with both the Grammy Awards.
