It was a dream come true moment for Celinedee Matahari when she got to deliver a short performance of AR Rahman’s “Maa Tujhe Salaam” in front of the music maestro himself. The French-Indonesian woman was in for a major fan moment after Rahman recorded her video as well.

Matahari posted the dreamy clip on her Instagram account. The woman stopped the musician’s car in Dubai and quickly started performing the iconic song on her guitar. Rahman was pleasantly surprised and was seen smiling throughout her impromptu performance. At one point, he even whipped out his mobile phone and started recording her video.

“It was such an honour finally meeting the legend @arrahman. Thank you for letting me sing for you,” read the caption of the post.
