Speaking on stage, AR Rahman spoke in Tamil, “I don’t like to watch my interviews again. She keeps playing again and again and watching because she loves my voice.” Saira Banu smiled as he said this. The host then asked Saira to speak. Before she did, AR Rahman told her, “Don’t talk in Hindi, speak in Tamil.” Saira closed her eyes and said, “Oh my God.” The audience laughed and applauded.
