AR Rahman’s emotional note on separation with wife Saira Banu
AR Rahman’s wife Saira Banu on Tuesday confirmed the end of their 29-year-old relationship. The Oscar-winning singer has now reacted to the confirmation and said that the two “hoped to reach the grand thirty” but their relationship “seems to carry an unseen end”.
In his post, the music composer also expressed gratitude for respecting privacy. AR Rahman and Saira Banu are the parents of Khatija, Raheema, and Ameen.
After the confirmation of his parent’s separation, son Ameen took to his Instagram and requested “privacy” during this time.
“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,” wrote AR Rahman on X.
“To our friends, thank you for your kindness and for respecting our privacy as we walk through this fragile chapter,” he added in the post. AR Rahman and Saira married in 1995.
