Yuvan Shankar Raja celebrated his 43rd birthday on August 31. Ilaiyaraaja took to social media to share a video in which he revealed what he was doing when Yuvan was born 43 years ago. He said that he was composing Senorita I Love You Song from Rajinikanth's Johnny. Yuvan Shankar Raja is Ilaiyaraaja's younger son. He has two siblings, Karthik Raja and Bhavatharini.
In the video, the veteran musician said, “At one point, I had the habit of composing songs in Pollachi's Aliyar dam. I used to stay in the guest house there to compose songs for two-three films in a single stretch. Director Mahendran and KRG (producer KR Gangadharan) took me there for one such session. My troop and I were composing every day, and since KRG had a house in Coimbatore, he used to drive back and forth. One evening, he came back from home and told me, ‘Hey, your wife has delivered a boy.’ Look at me, even back then, I was busy composing songs instead of being with my wife and taking care of her. She also didn’t mind it much. When I got the news, I was composing the song, Senorita I Love You from Rajinikanth's Johnny. And the boy who was born on that day was Yuvan! Happy birthday, Yuvan (sic).”
