AR Rahman wrote, “Post IPL T20 performance… Before the barricade gave up on the overflowing love …and fell on us. The fans look thrilled in the image, don’t they?”
AR Rahman, who is known for his humility, also shared a behind-the-scenes video of some background artists. In the video, the artists can be seen waving at AR Rahman. The maestro captioned his post as, “All artists… one family.”
AR Rahman also shared an uplifting image from his performance in which he can be seen on stage alongside Neeti Mohan and Shweta Mohan. Rahman’s post has gone viral with over 200,000 likes on Instagram.
