Did ANI misreport AR Rahman ‘speak in Tamil, not Hindi’ remark?

Renowned Indian music composer, AR Rahman, who has created music for thousands of Tamil and Hindi films, has always expressed his love for his native language, Tamil.

Rahman asked his wife, Saira Banu, to address the audience in Tamil, even though she is not very fluent in the language. Banu expressed her admiration for her husband's voice and stated that he fell in love with her.

When AR Rahman's wife Saira was asked to speak at an event, the music composer jokingly encouraged her to speak in Tamil as she is not fluent in the language. However, some media outlets, such as ANI, may have sensationalized this fact in their headlines to generate more clicks.

Another user said "Bro clearly Rahman sir was teasing and playfully asked wife to speak in Tamil. But could you imagine if something would have happened in let’s say Mumbai where a south star would have been asked to speak in Hindi? Everyone would have cried ‘imposition’ of Hindi 😐"
