Los Angeles: Indian music maestro AR Rahman won the Oscar for his original score in the highly acclaimed movie Slumdog Millionaire.

The composer was overwhelmed and interspersed his speech with Hindi as well as Tamil on receiving the coveted trophy here Sunday.

"There is a dialogue from an old Hindi film,"Mere paas ma hai" - which means I have nothing but a mother. My mother is here, I have her blessings. I am glad she could be here," said Rahman.

He ended the acceptance speech by saying in Tamil Ella Pughazhum Eraivanukke, which means "All my success and achievements are dedicated to God, God is great."

Rahman is known to say these words of gratitude to God after winning every award.
