AR Rahman’s Daughter Hits Back At Taslima Nasreen For Trolling Her Over Burqa

Barely a year after AR Rahman’s daughter Khatija clarified her stance on wearing a burqa, she has been dragged again by popular writer Taslima Nasreen.
Taslima in a tweet wrote that she feels suffocated when she looks at Khatija wearing a burqa at events. She stated, "I absolutely love A R Rahman's music. But whenever i see his dear daughter, i feel suffocated. It is really depressing to learn that even educated women in a cultural family can get brainwashed very easily!"
Khatija, took to Instagram posting a screenshot of the tweet, and shared her views on the same, and even gave Nasreen a befitting reply.
For those unversed, in 2019 music maestro AR Rahman and his daughter Khatija were at an event to celebrate the musical success of Slumdog Millionaire. However, Khatija's sartorial choice (burqa) became a talking point. For the record, she wore a saree with a veil, which rubbed a lot of people on the wrong side.Back then Khatija addressed this on Facebook and wrote, "I’m a sane mature adult who knows to make my choices in life. Any human being has a choice to wear or do what he/she wants and that’s what I’ve been doing. Hence, kindly don’t make your own judgements without understanding the exact situation #freedomofchoice."
