Oscar-winning composer, loved by one and all, and a global star AR Rahman has spoken out about being depressed when he was young.

Rahman’s biography ‘Notes of a Dream: The Authorized Biography of AR Rahman’ was launched on Saturday. He has talked about the tough times he faced and the major events that shaped the person he is today.

The singer-composer told PTI:

Up until 25, I used to think about suicide. Most of us feel they are not good enough. Because I lost my father, there was this void... There were so many things happening. (But) that in a way made me more fearless. Death is a permanent thing for everyone. Since everything created has an expiry date, so why be afraid of anything?
