Riyasdeen has worked with musicians like AR Rahman and Amit Trivedi in the past.
Last year, Khatija had hit headlines when writer Taslima Nasreen had commented on her decision to wear a burqa and tweeted, “I absolutely love A R Rahman's music. But whenever i see his dear daughter, i feel suffocated. It is really depressing to learn that even an educated women in a cultural family can get brainwashed very easily!”
Khatija replied, “Dear Taslima Nasreen, I’m sorry you feel suffocated by my attire. Please get some fresh air, cause I don’t feel suffocated rather I’m proud and empowered for what I stand for. I suggest you google up what true feminism means because it isn’t bashing other women down nor bringing their fathers into the issue. I also don’t recall sending my photos to you for your perusal.”
