Isaipuyal A.R. Rahman made the nation proud by winning twin Oscars for his musical score in the movie 'Slumdog Millionaire' directed by Danny Boyle that released in the year 2008. He got the statuettes for Best Original Score and Best Song.

Rahman in his recent interview shared that his late mother Kareema Begum had the Oscar statuettes in her house and believing them to be gold she had wrapped them in clothes and kept them in a cupboard. Last December Kareema passed away and Rahman decided to take the awards to his house and when he searched he could not find them.
