His statement was shared on Reddit. Many took to the comments section to bash Rahman for the reaction. "Did he actually write this? What he wrote seems so out of context and irrelevant," a reddit user commented. "Sounds like a horrifying experience. I love AR Rahman's work. But, it is a pathetic response from A. R. Rahman. Yes, the onus is definitely on the organizers of the concert. As the headlining name/crowd puller, you should also take precautions to ensure the event happens smoothly. You can not just sit there blind and deaf to these things," added another.
"What is wrong with him? Who responds like this!?," another asked. "It is pathetic!! Now, we can not even go to concerts because of men. They want us to stay at home. We are not even safe in our own homes. And what is this response by ARR?" a social media user wrote.
Many also said they had panic attacks due to the massive crowd and no space to move around. Following the complaints, AR Rahman's team, via his official X handle, then tweeted, "Dearest Chennai Makkale, those of you who purchased tickets and were not able to enter owing to unfortunate circumstances, please do share a copy of your ticket purchase to arr4chennai@btos.in along with your grievances. Our team will respond ASAP."
