Oscar Winner A R Rahman on Saturday turned emotional over the plight of suffering Sri Lankan Tamils as an honorary doctorate was conferred upon him by Anna University.Speaking after receiving the doctorate, the music maestro said that he had been skipping functions in Tamil Nadu keeping in mind the plight of the Tamils suffering in Sri Lanka."Soon after I won the Oscar, I was invited for several functions in Tamil Nadu. But I had avoided them because many Tamils were suffering in Sri Lanka. I hope that a solution will come," he stated.
"If I had hurt anyone by not accepting their invitations, I apologise to them," he said, adding, this was his second function in Tamil Nadu after winning the Oscar.He said the first public function he had attended was the inauguration of Apollo Children's Hospital a few days ago.
