Legendary musician AR Rahman recently made headlines after he took to Twitter to share a throwback picture of himself with legendary composer MK Arjunan, which was clicked during the ’80s. The maestro shared the picture with the veteran Malayalam composer to mourn his death, who breathed his last on Monday (April 6, 2020 ) at his home in Kochi due to age-related ailments. Sending his social media followers into meltdown with an adorable throwback picture from his childhood, Rahman also penned an emotional post for Arjunan.

Watch the musical tribute to AR Rahman:

For the uninitiated, Arjunan, who has over 600 songs to his name, gave the Oscar-award winner AR Rahman his first break in the ’80s. As we all know, Rahman made his debut on the keyboard with the popular Malayalam film, Adima Changala. Well, the composer of the film was Arjunan.

Sharing a picture from the ’80s on the micro-blogging site, where Rahman is seen seated with Arjunan and playing the piano, the 53-year-old musician wrote, “An act of kindness lasts a lifetime. I will never forget the love and encouragement you gave me during my childhood.”

Sending his deepest condolences, Rahman added, “Your innumerable melodic songs are a testament for your everlasting legacy. May you rest in peace MK Arjunan Master…My condolences to the family, friends & admirers.”
