Mumbai, Feb 8 (IANS) 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 recieved flak on social media after a celebratory for 10 years of "Slumdog Millionaire", which had won him Academy awards.
