AR Rahman's personal life turmoil with Saira Banu

AR Rahman and his ex-wife, Saira Banu, were married for 29 years. It was on March 12, 1995, when the former pair married, and in November 2024, they opted for separation. The couple has been blessed with three kids- AR Ameen, Khatija, and Raheema Rahman. The music composer had broken the news to the world of how shattering it was to bear the entire weight of two broken hearts. In his tweet, Rahman expressed his gratitude to his friends for giving him and respecting his privacy. He had hoped to reach the grand thirty anniversary with Saira but there was no way out. His heartbreaking tweet read:

"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."

On the flip side, Saira's lawyer, Vandana Shah, had also shared that after many years of marriage, Mrs. Saira made the difficult decision to separate from her husband, Mr. A R. Rahman. This decision came 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.
