Grammys For India PM Narendra Modi exuded good sportsmanship as he congratulated the Grammy winners from India, despite his song ‘Abundance in Millets’ losing at the famed awards. He took to X (Formerly Twitter) to share his heartfelt message congratulating the five winners–Rakesh Chaurasia, Ustad Zakir Hussain, Shankar Mahadevan, Selvaganesh Vinayakram, and Ganesh Rajagopalan–for making India proud.

Selvaganesh, and Ganesh Rajagopalan, was awarded the Grammy Award for their work, The Moment. The album has won Best Global Music Album. Shankar and his team members were present at the Grammys to accept the award. Now, AR Rahman has congratulated the team.
Two-time Grammy Award winner AR Rahman also rejoiced in the multiple wins by Indian musicians at the iconic awards this year. The actor shared a selfie with the winners Zakir Hussain, Shankar Mahadevan, and Selavaganesh, and wrote, “It’s raining #GRAMMYs for India Congrats Grammy winners (sic).”
