Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman has been discharged after being hospitalised in Chennai after a brief period of discomfort. According to an NDTV report, the composer had returned from London on Saturday night and felt unwell, following which he was admitted. The doctors cited dehydration as a reason considering he was fasting for Ramzan.
As per the composer's spokesperson, who had spoken to NDTV, "He returned from London yesterday and felt unwell, so he went to the hospital for a check-up last night. However, according to the doctors, it was due to dehydration, as he has also been fasting for Ramzan."
Earlier, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin had shared an update on his 'X' handle, saying he checked with the hospital and learned that Rahman is doing fine and will be discharged soon.
"As soon as I heard the news that Isaipuyal @arrahman had been admitted to the hospital due to ill health, I contacted the doctors and inquired about his health! They said he is fine and will be back home soon! Happy!" he wrote.
