Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman, who turned 49 today, thanked his fans for inspiring him to churn out "beautiful music" every year. The musician pledged to make the world a beautiful place on his birthday.

"To my dearest friends, fans, family and well-wishers... Thank you for your kind birthday wishes, prayers and affection. You inspire me to work harder and make even more beautiful music. Luckily, I am not yet 50. May the Almighty keep us all united, keep our hearts pure and compassionate.
