New Delhi: AR Rahman was not a Muslim from birth. He accepted Islam at the behest of a fakir. Although the atmosphere of the house is not orthodox, but questions were raised on the upbringing of AR Rahman, when his daughter Khatja made an emotional statement wearing a hijab. Apart from StarKid’s statement, people objected to his dress. Some people accused AR Rahman of imposing orthodox thinking on daughter Khatija. After the ‘Pahalgam Hindu massacre’, when people are watching things with Hindu-Muslim glasses, AR Rahman has once again caught his reaction to the daughter’s decision to wear a burqa.
When AR Rahman was targeted due to the hijab of daughter Khatija, the musician shared a family photo on social media, in which Khatija was seen in the hijab, while his wife Saira Bano was without a screen. His second daughter Rahima in the photo was also without a burqa. He said the picture with the tag of ‘Freedom of Speech’ that his daughters have the right to take a decision on their own dress.
AR Rahman’s reaction on daughter’s dress
AR Rahman spoke openly about the perspective of people and his daughter’s decision to wear hijab in conversation with Nayandeep Rakshit. According to the report of News18 English, the actress said, ‘The decision to live public life has been taken deliberately. Everyone is assessed from a rich man to God himself. As long as we live together, we are neither arrogant nor toxic for those who are doing such things. AR Rahman further said, ‘My daughter has her own fan following. The problem is that I am not capable of fighting them. She sends me two -page emails which are written in a very accurate way and you just sit and praise them. I think there should be a book, named ‘My Letters to Dad’.
When daughter defended father AR Rahman
Khatija defended father AR Rahman in 2019, saying, ‘The conversation between me and my father on the stage has made a lot of headlines, although I did not expect such a tremendous reaction. However, people had some comments in which it was written that the father has imposed such an dress on me. I would like to say that the clothes I wear or the choice I do in my life, they have nothing to do with my parents. Hijab is my personal choice, which I have adopted with full respect.
