Before coming, I was excited and terrified. The last time I felt like that was during my marriage. There's a dialogue from a Hindi film called "Mere paas ma hai," which means "I have nothing but I have a mother," so mother's here, her blessings are there with me. I am grateful for her to have come all the way. And I want to thank the Academy for being so kind, all the jury members. I want to thank Sam Schwartz, I/D PR, all the crew of Slumdog, Mr Gulzar, Raqueeb Alam, Blaaze, my musicians in Chennai and Mumbai. And I want to tell something in Tamil, which says, which I normally say after every award which is எல்லா புகழும் இறைவனுக்கே... "God is great." Thank you.

எல்லா புகழும் இறைவனுக்கே!
A.R.Rahman in his acceptance speech said "எல்லா புகழும் இறைவனுக்கே".. which means, all fame and glory is to the God ! Very difficult to think on these lines at such a great award function ! Salaam ARR...

Salaam ARR, of course.
As you might know, I have been an ARR fan for the last 15 years or so.
But let us not forget Rasool at this moment. I felt very proud when he said 'I come from a country that gave the world Om' in his acceptance speech.
Cheers,
Salil
