'Spiritually, she is much higher than me': AR Rehman about mother Kareema
Previously during an interview with Chennai Times, the maestro said, "She has music instincts. Spiritually, she is much higher than me in the way she thinks and takes decisions. For instance, her decision of making me take up music. She made me leave school in Class XI and take up music. It was her conviction that music is the line for me."
