In his blog recently Amitabh Bachchan described A R Rahman’s Oscar sweep as the happiest day for Indians and the film industry.

The whole of Bollywood has got together to praise A R Rahman and Resul Pookutty after the duo created history on Sunday evening in Los Angeles by winning the Oscars in the categories they were nominated for.

Amitabh Bachchan became one of the first ones by commenting on his blog: “My warmest and heartiest congratulations to A.R. Rahman and Resul (Pookutty) for winning recognition in music and sound and to Gulzar for co-assisting Rahman in the lyric category.”

Gulzar is credited for the lyrics of the song ‘Jai Ho’ which got Rahman the Oscar for Best Song.
