On June 14, 2009 as the entire country, the media and especially the Hindi film industry focused on Shieny Ahuja and the alleged charges against him of raping his maid, the musician trio of Shankar, Ehsaan and Loy had a totally different difficulty to face.
That particular morning, as the musician trio reached their recording studio, they realized that while they were away, someone had entered their studio and a robbery had taken place.
As the three of them got to terms with the fact that some of their valuables were missing, they realized that this small robbery could be enough to ruin both their life and profession career.
But as they looked around, they found out that their computer, which was used by the musicians to compose and make music, was sadly missing.
At the same time though, the musicians also realized that they had kept some final recordings in the studio, which included one of their most ambitious project, My Name Is Khan. So, after the initial shock, they realized that it was these final recordings, which were most valuable to them since if these recordings had got stolen, the musicians will have to not only record them all over again but will also have to pay the singers and other musicians for the second time.
The musicians were relieved only when they saw that the robbers had not touched those recordings and they were safe.
Though the news of the robbery was confirmed by the three musicians, they refused to give any further details.“Police is still investigating the case and has asked us not to reveal anything at this stage. So, we cannot say anything more,” said Loy Mendonsa, one of the three music directors.
Of course, the producers, whose recordings are safe, must be thanking their stars.
