Nov 20

 

Bollywood maestro A. R. Rahman and Oscar-winning music composer AR Rahman and his wife, Saira Banu, have announced their decision to separate after 29 years of marriage. 

Rahman shared an emotional note with his fans on November 19, thanking them for respecting their privacy during this difficult time. 

In his post on X (formerly Twitter), A. R. Rahman expressed the pain of the separation, saying, “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.”

A. R. Rahman and Saira Banu tied the knot on March 12, 1995, and have three children together. 

On November 19, Saira Banu's lawyer, Vanda Shah, released a public statement conforming the separation.  

The statement read: “After many years of marriage, Mrs Saira has made the difficult decision to separate from her husband Mr AR Rahman. This decision comes after significant emotional strain in their relationship”

 “Despite their deep love for each other, the couple has found that the tensions and difficulties have created an insurmountable gap between them, one that neither party feels able to bridge at this time. Mrs Saira emphasised that she has taken this decision out of pain and agony. Mrs Saira requests privacy and understanding from the public during this challenging time, as she navigates this difficult chapter in her life”, the further statement read.
  
Last night, the children of A. R. Rahman, Khatijam Ameen and Raheem took to Instagram stories to react to the news. 

Ameen wrote on his Instagram story, “We kindly request everyone to respect our privacy during this time. Thank you for your understanding.”

Earlier, Indian musician and singer A. R. Rahman shared a startling personal revelation, revealing that he contemplated suicide multiple times during his youth.

Speaking at the Oxford Union Debating Society, Rahman revealed that his mother had told him to live his life for others and that if he could switch his mindset and do so, it would dispel negative thoughts.

Rahman expressed gratitude for his mother’s advice and said it was the “most beautiful counsel”.

Rahman also stressed the importance of living for others, saying it was essential.

“I took my mother’s advice seriously, whether it’s composing music for someone, writing, or buying food for those in need,” Rahman said, adding that “acts like these, even just smiling at someone, are what give us reasons to live.”
