According to Rahman’s team, the music maestro has been discharged from the hospital after undergoing medical tests.

They assured his fans that the reports were untrue, stating, “It’s fake news (on heart issues) spreading now. Rahman went to the hospital because he got dehydrated and has neck pain due to travel.”
Rahman, who remains active in his music career, is involved in various projects.

Rai.
Fans of the music legend can now rest assured that Rahman is recovering and will soon be back to work on his exciting music projects.
