AR Rahman and his wife, Saira Banu, separated after 29 years of marriage. Saira's lawyer, Vandana Shah, released a statement explaining that the emotional strain in their relationship caused their separation. Rahman also released a statement and requested privacy as the situation was fragile. Now, fans are searching for everything about the pair, from their assets to Rahman's net worth. He is the richest musician in the country and his total net worth over powers that of Diljit Dosanjh's.
The Indian Mozart's net worth, as per a report by Koi Moi, is estimated to be around Rs 1,700 to Rs 2,000 crore as of 2024. This is because of the massive concert fees and pay cheques he takes, being a music director in India and overseas. However, it has yet to be confirmed how much assets his wife, Saira Banu and three kids, AR Ameen, Khatija and Raheema, have. The report also revealed that Rahman charges Rs 8 crore per movie. He had charged the same for composing Amar Singh Chamkila's music. Reportedly, Rahman charges 100% more than Diljit Dosanjh, playing the pivotal role in the movie. Reports state that he was paid Rs 4 crore for the movie.

The report further alleged that Rahman charges Rs 3 crore for crooning a song and Rs 2 crore for a concert. His total net worth is more than Rs 17,000 crore, which makes him reportedly the richest music composer and singer in India. On the other hand, Diljit, who is on his Dil-Luminati tour, reportedly has a net worth of Rs 172 crore. Rahman's total net worth is reportedly 88% higher than the Punjabi superstar's.
Saira Banu's lawyer also said that Saira was not free to discuss the real reason behind their divorce. However, Rahman was a protective husband, and Saira was a good wife. She knows the real reason for the divorce but she is not at liberty to discuss it. Vandana also said that both Rahman and Saira have been committed to building better lives with or without each other. The divorce of the duo was a decision of their own and there were no links with AR Rahman's bassist, Mohini Dey's separation. The couple has ended their relationship dignifiedly and will continue to support each other and wish each other well. Saira has not yet asked for the alimony amount. However, if she demands, then Rahman will have to shell from his Rs 17,000 crore assets.
Vandana was further asked if Saira felt upset that Rahman had used the hashtag "#arsairabreakup" in his post about the divorce announcement. The lawyer did not comment on the same. She was also asked about the last viral picture from Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant's wedding. Saira and Rahman had posed together at the function. Vandana replied that she does not think they put up the picture for its own sake. This is because they are not like that and are extremely genuine.
