Renowned music composer AR Rahman was discharged from Chennai’s Apollo Hospital after receiving treatment for health issues. According to a statement released by the hospital management, Rahman visited the hospital on March 16 with dehydration symptoms and underwent a routine check-up, following which he was discharged. This announcement put to rest rumors that had been circulating throughout the morning, indicating that the Oscar-winning musician had been admitted to the hospital due to chest discomfort after returning from London, where he attended an event.

Actually, Rahman had recently returned to Chennai and experienced neck and stomach pain, which he initially attributed to acidity and gastric issues. He self-medicated with antacids and anti-gas syrup at home, but when the discomfort persisted, he was taken to the hospital.

Rahman’s sister, Fathima, confirmed that her brother was hospitalized due to dehydration caused by his constant travel and lack of rest. He received drips and is now fine. Additionally, his son Ameen posted on his Instagram account that his father is doing well. The health scare appears to be attributed to exhaustion and dehydration, not any serious underlying condition. With his release from the hospital, AR Rahman is expected to resume his musical endeavors and continue to delight his fans worldwide with his melodious soundtracks.
