Oscar-winning Indian music composer A.R. Rahman, who was trolled on social media as his daughter Khatija wore a niqab at an event here, defended her “freedom to choose”.
Rahman received flak on social media after a celebratory for 10 years of “Slumdog Millionaire”, which had won him Academy Awards.
His daughter had shared the stage with him during the event. She wore a black saree and her face was covered in a niqab with only her eyes visible.
