Vijay For Victory

First Indian who won two Oscars

Indian composer A R Rahman created history by becoming the first Indian to bag two Oscars for his work in British filmmaker Danny Boyle’s much acclaimed “Slumdog Millionaire”.

He ended the acceptance speech by saying “Ella pugazhum Iraivanuke! – God is great!” in Tamil, something he says after winning every award.

“All my life I had a choice between hate and love. I chose love and I am here,” said Rahman after receiving his second golden statuette here.
