Riyasdeen is an aspiring entrepreneur and an audio engineer of Rahman’s daughter. Khatija first recorded Farishton in 2020 and it was released on YouTube with an animated video. The song talks about freedom and empowerment.
Khatija Rahman, a 23-year-old budding singer, was often bullied online for covering her face. Although Khatija has stated time and again that wearing a burqa is her own choice, some people think that it is AR Rahman who “forces” his daughter to cover herself.
