Ash is all praises for Rehmaan. She admits that working with Rahman has been an absolute pleasure. The journey has been long and the two had started off their careers at almost the same time. It’s not just from Taal to Guru, but it’s from ‘Iruvar’ till ‘Ravana’.

In fact, maximum of Ash’s films have enjoyed the music of Rahman and as a music lover and fan, she had always admired his music and thinks she is a gifted musician. Rai was expressing her views while addressing a press conference in Kolkata. The Bollywood actress, who was in Kolkata for the shooting of her upcoming flick ‘Ravana’, said she was elated at Rehman’s double win at the Oscars for ‘Slumdog Millionaire’.

Rai also shared her experiences of working with actor Steve Martin in her latest Hollywood flick ‘The Pink Panther 2′. Rai said, “Working with Steve Martin was a good experience since he is the institution of comedy. We grew up watching his movie. So when it came to working with him she thought privileged and very happy to have got a chance to work with all these great actors.
She found her character in ‘Ravana’ quite challenging too.She is cast opposite to hubby Abhishek in this Mani Ratnam flick.
