Composer AR Rahman has just announced divorce from his wife Saira Banu after 29 years of marriage. They had gotten married in 1995 and this separation news has come as a huge shock to fans who are extremely sad. Rahman also expressed his feelings in a tweet after announcing divorce. He 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.”💐”

Interestingly, Saira is the sister of popular Malayalam actor Rashin Rahman’s wife, Meherunnisa. In a recent interview, actor Rahman had revealed how different he is from his brother-in-law AR Rahman. He had said that he’s more spiritual. He had said during a chat with Siddharth Kannan, “I remember, when he got married, he took my sister-in-law for the honeymoon to a hill station. I called them that night, it was just 12 or 1… She answered, she was sleeping already. I asked, ‘Where is Rahman’. She said, ‘I don’t know’. He was in another room, practicing his veena… He was composing something; he’s that kind of person.”
AR Rahman and Saira Banu have three kids together – two daughters, Khatija and Rahima, and a son named Ameen Rahman. Their children have also reacted to their divorce and requested for privacy during this tough time.
