AR Rahman and Saira Banu’s Separation
The news of AR Rahman and Saira`s separation was initially shared through a joint statement issued by Saira’s lawyer, Vandana Shah. The couple stated that their decision was due to “significant emotional strain” in their relationship. The Mozart of Madras, who married Saira in 1995, shares three children: Khatija, Raheema, and Ameen. After Vandana, Rahman also put out an official statement and wrote, “We had hoped to reach the grand thirty, but all things, it seems, carry an unseen end. Even the throne of God might tremble at the weight of broken hearts. Yet, in this shattering, we seek meaning, though the pieces may not find their place again. To our friends, thank you for your kindness and for respecting our privacy as we walk through this fragile chapter.”
AR Rahman`s bassist announced her divorce
Just a few hours after Rahman put out an official message announcing his divorce, his bassist, Mohini Dey, also announced that she and her partner, Mark Hartsuch, had decided to part ways. As the two announcements came within hours of each other, netizens speculated about a possible link between Rahman and Saira`s separation and Mohini`s breakup with her husband.
Mohini Dey reacts to link up rumours
Earlier today, Mohini slammed these link-up rumors. She took to her Instagram stories and wrote, “I’ve been getting a humongous amount of requests for interviews, and I know exactly what it’s about. So, I have to respectfully turn each one down because I am not interested in fueling into ABSOLUTE BS. I believe my energy is not worth spending on RUMORS. Kindly respect my privacy.”
