She dropped a sweet comment on Mohamed's post which said, “Blessed and grateful to have got you in my life Riyasdeen. In shaa Allaah. Allahumma Barik (sic).”
Many from the music industry, including singers Harshdeep Kaur, Jonita Gandhi, and Chinmayi Sripada, and composer GV Prakash, extended their best wishes to the newly-engaged couple.
The bride to be made her singing debut with the song 'Pudhiya Manidha' from 'Ethiran' composed by AR Rahman. Last year, she sang 'Rock A Bye Baby' for 'Mimi', which was again an AR Rahman composition.
In an earlier interview to Hindustan Times, she had talked about the time she decided to quit music. “I got overwhelmed with all the attention I got for the first song when I was 13 or 14 years old. I took on the pressure of being AR Rahman’s daughter on myself. I did that to myself,” she had said. However, it was her mother, Saira Banu, who convinced her to return to singing.
