Singer Neeti Mohan thanks composer AR Rahman, referring to him as her mentor and complimenting his influence on her professional as well as personal life. She respects his adaptability, religious belief, determination to succeed, and commitment to family. Mohan enjoys how Rahman supports her creativity and lets her be herself. She is appreciative of his inspiration for Guru Purnima even though she is unable to spend a lot of time with him because of her hectic schedule because she keeps acquiring knowledge from him through interviews.
“The composer AR Rahman, sir, has had a significant impact on my professional as well as personal life. I still find it hard to believe I’ve collaborated with him. I still consider it to be a dream come true. He is a mentor to me, the singer Neeti Mohan claims.
The vocalist of Meri Jaan (Gangubai Kathiawadi; 2022) continues by discussing the traits that she has absorbed from her mentor. He has performed in a variety of musical styles and languages. He taught me that, and I also did it. He also has a strong spiritual bent, which has encouraged me.
I find it motivating that it’s difficult to find individuals working in the field who don’t consume drugs or alcohol. He is a family man, and I have absorbed that trait from him. His work ethics are outstanding. He never stops playing during a concert or claims to be exhausted. I also strive to do that. I’m happy that we have him as a guru, declares Mohan.
She appreciates that her guru offers her enough freedom to be herself.
“I miss traveling along with him and being around him because I’ve been so busy juggling recordings, shows, and my role as a mother for the last two years.” But every time I watch or read an interview with him, I always come away with something to learn from him. “On Guru Purnima, as his devotee, I’d like to thank him for inspiring me,” adds Mohan.
