TIL Desk Bollywood/ Criticism is part and parcel of fame but Oscar-winning music composer A R Rahman says his way of dealing with it is to take only the constructive stuff and leave the rest behind. “Criticism is important. But if you want to satisfy everyone, you’ll satisfy no one. You make your music so generic. Some people like something, others don’t like certain things. I like criticism which is constructive,” Rahman told.
“Sometimes you know that it’s out of spite so, I take the ones, which are constructive. Because we all are human beings, we tend to focus on certain things with a certain vision and sometimes we ignore certain things.” Rahman, 49, marked his music-composing debut with 1992 “Roja” and there was no looking back for the singer-composer.
He said his absolute passion for music has brought him to the place, where he is today. “My constant search is ‘to feel alive’. Because, we need a ‘reason’ to search. And you have to keep inventing that reason. That keeps me passionate to make music. Anything without passion is useless. Passion brings love, dedication and hard work,” Rahman said on the sidelines of NFDC Film Bazaar here.
