Anyone would love to stay in Canada, or that is what is generally perceived. Great country, amazing infrastructure, advanced constitution but above all, a liberal team of leaders (read Justin Trudeau) are reasons galore.  However, when our music maestro AR Rahman was offered a Canadian citizenship by a mayor, he politely refused because for him, home is Tamil Nadu.

Rahman was recently in Toronto for a concert when this happened. He already has a street named after him in Ontario.

He extended a warm invite to the mayor and asked him to visit his music conservatory in Chennai, hinting at future musical collaborations between the two countries. The music legend has never forgotten his roots ,and his international fame has always kept him humble.
