and his wife announced their divorce earlier this week. Their separation has come as a huge shock for the musician’s fans. The duo was married for 29 years and many are still baffled at how even a marriage of this length didn’t last long. While some are hoping the duo finds their happiness and support from their loved ones, some started coming up with theories. The day Rahman announced his divorce was also the day his bassist revealed that she is separating from her husband.
Mohini Dey’s divorce news came in earlier and AR Rahman and Saira Banu’s separation news followed later. So some people online wondered if the bassist has any connection with the Dil Se music composer’s divorce. Earlier, their lawyer denied any connection between these two separations. However, the speculations didn’t stop making headlines. Now, Rahman’s son, AR Ameen, has reacted strongly to these rumours.
On his Instagram page, AR Ameen shared a story with an article that mentions the divorce connection. In his statement, he slammed those who are trying to play with his father’s dignity. Rameen wrote, “My father is a legend, not just for his incredible contributions, but for the values, respect, and love he has earned over the years. It’s disheartening to see false and baseless rumours being spread. Let us all remember the importance of truth and respect when speaking about someone’s life and legacy. Please refrain from engaging in or spreading such misinformation. Let’s honour and preserve his dignity and the incredible impact he has had on all of us.”
Meanwhile, AR Rahman took to his social media earlier to confirm the divorce. The Jai Ho music director 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.”
