First Indian to Get an Oscar.............AR Rahman.... the great musician...in Tamil, Hindi and English.....
The phrase “Behind every successful Man is a Woman” works the other way around as well. Many spouses of stars don’t often get their share of the limelight. But they must be pretty special for a lot of reasons – it can't be easy dealing with the good and the bad that comes with the high profile lives of their significant others! That's why they decided to put together a gallery in tribute to the not-so-well-known ‘pillars of strength’ to our stars.
