Chandrabose’s daughter Amrutha also beamed with pride as her father’s song Naatu Naatu won Oscar. “It’s a surreal feeling. I am super proud of my dad,” she shared. Naatu Naatu beat a slew of heavy-weight competitors – Lady Gaga’s Hold My Hand from Top Gun: Maverick, Rihanna’s Lift Me Up from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, This Is A Life from Everything Everywhere All At Once, and Applause from Tell It Like A Woman.
