AR Rahman and his wife, Saira Banu, were considered one of the most steady couples in the music fraternity. They are proud parents to two daughters and a son. The couple tied the knot in March 1995 in an arranged marriage, but after 29 years of togetherness, the duo decided to call it quits. It is reportedly reported that it was a very difficult decision, but the two needed to go separate ways to remain happy.
In a media interaction with India Today, Saira Banu announced her divorce from AR Rahman. Now, the musical maestro has taken to his Twitter account (now known as X) and shared that he wished to reach the grand third anniversary with his wife, but unfortunately, their relationship has met its end. He is heartbroken by the procedure, but there is no way out. In AR Rahman's words:
“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.”
The composer also thanked his friends and family for their kindness and for respecting their privacy as they navigated a very fragile chapter of their lives.
In a media statement to India Today, Saira Banu's lawyer discussed their marriage. The lawyer revealed that Saira made the difficult decision to part ways with AR Rahman, a decision that was not made lightly. The lawyer further added that it was a choice made after enduring significant emotional strain. Saira Banu's lawyer further added that while they are still in love, the tensions and difficulties they have gone through have created a huge gap, which is hard to bridge. The statement can be read as:
"After many years of marriage, Mrs. Saira has made the difficult decision to separate from her husband Mr. A R. 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."
