Oscar-winning music composer AR Rahman was admitted to a hospital in Chennai on Saturday night after experiencing chest pain on Sunday. Hours later, his son, Ameen, provided a health update, revealing that Rahman was hospitalised due to weakness caused by dehydration.
Taking to his Instagram stories, Ameen wrote, "To all our dear fans, family, and well-wishers, I sincerely thank you for your love, prayers, and support. My father felt a bit weak due to dehydration, hence we went ahead and did some routine tests, but I'm happy to share that he is doing well now."
Ameen added, "Your kind words and blessings mean a lot to us. We truly appreciate your concern and continued support. Much love and gratitude to you all!"
Ameen's sister, Raheema, also shared the same statement along with a medical bulletin from the hospital that read, "Mr. AR Rahman visited Apollo Hospitals, Greams Road, today morning with dehydration symptoms and got discharged after routine check-up."
The singer had returned from London last night when he felt unwell and went for a check-up.
