AR Rahman’s son Ameen says ‘father felt a bit weak...did some routine tests’

Singer and composer AR Rahman's son Ameen shared an update on his father's heath, saying his 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 said in an update in an Instagram story.

“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!,” AR Rahman's son said.

Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin also shared a health update on Oscar-winning musician AR Rahman who was hospitalised in Chennai due to dehydration and neck pain.

The 58 year-old, Rahman, was hospitalised in Chennai after he went for a check up last night after feeling uneasy.

Stalin took to his Twitter handle to share the present health condition of music composer Rahman. He said the music maestro is fine and will be back home soon.

Stalin wrote, "As soon as I heard the news that Isaipuyal @arrahman had been admitted to the hospital due to ill health, I contacted the doctors and inquired about his health! They said he is fine and will be back home soon! Happy!"

AR Rahman discharged

AR Rahman's team said the music composer has been discharged from the hospital. He had some medical complications relating to dehydration and neck pain due to recent traveling," they said.

Earlier today, the musician's team said, " All tests taken by doctors showed Rehman, 58, to be normal, and he is likely to be discharged today itself.

The music maestro's team also refuted "fake" reports, which claimed he had been admitted to hospital following "chest pain". "It's fake news (on heart issues) spreading now. Rahman went to hospital because he got dehydrated and has neck pain due to travel," they said.

Rahman is currently busy with his music projects and several gigs. The singer had joined Ed Sheran during his Mathematics Tour concert performance in Chennai last month.

He is also set to compose music for the Dhanush and Kriti Sanon starrer 'Tere Ishk Mein', which is a spiritual sequel to the blockbuster film Raanjhanna. It is directed by Anand L Rai.
