Most people in India know Bengaluru’s traffic is notorious. Long queues and slow-moving vehicles leave commuters with little choice but to wait. This time, even Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman appeared
to get caught in the city’s traffic, as a video of him travelling through Bengaluru surfaced on social media.
The clip, shared on Instagram by a man named Manoj Kumar, showed the musician sitting in the back seat of a car, waiting for traffic to ease. A few other vehicles followed the car, reportedly carrying members of his security team. Both vehicles appear to be caught in heavy traffic on a Bengaluru road.
“Even an Oscar winner can’t escape Bengaluru traffic,” read the text overlaid on the video.
AR Rahman Waves At Fans
Another video circulating online showed Rahman making his way through the city after his concert. As fans recognised the singer-composer inside his car, he could be seen smiling and waving at them through the window. “POV: From the stage to the car next to us! AR Rahman sir!” the caption of the post said.
AR Rahman was in the city last night, Saturday, October 3, as part of his The Wonderment Tour, which took place at KTPO Convention Centre in Whitefield, Bengaluru.
“Even Legends Can’t Escape”
The videos quickly caught the attention of social media users, with people saying those who got the chance to capture the maestro on camera were lucky, while others shared that AR Rahman arrived early for his show and delivered a memorable performance.
“Lucky you, captured him in ur phone,” said a user.
Another wrote, “Lucky guys …..where did u find his car …even I was at this concert.”
An individual joked, “Reason enough to love Bangalore. Same treatment to everyone. The city is lovely in every other way. So no point complaining about the traffic. Embrace it”
“That’s Bangalore traffic; even legends can’t escape from Bangalore traffic,” commented someone.
Meanwhile, a concertgoer shared, “He was so punctual even with traffic, started the show early and completed on time. True legend”
“ARR reached on time and gave us a treat; he started the show 20 mins early, accounted for the traffic and reached us early … Didn’t complain once … True legend…Plus, this traffic was for his show itself … we reached at 5:40 and were thrown at the back in VIP seats, so Bengaluru flooded for ARR,” a different individual mentioned.
