Music maestro AR Rahman and his wife Saira Banu have been in the news ever since they announced their split after 29 years of marriage.

Saira Rahman reveals why she ‘wanted to take a break from AR Rahman

In the audio clip, she said, “This is Saira Rahman here. I’m currently in Bombay. I’ve been physically unwell for the last couple of months. So that’s the reason I just wanted to take a break from AR, but I would request the entire YouTubers, the Tamil Media, please please do not say anything bad against him. He’s a gem of a person, the best man in the world.”

She further added, “Yes, it’s just because of my health issues. I had to leave Chennai because I knew if I’m not in Chennai, you people will wonder where Saira is. And I’ve come here to Bombay. I’m going ahead with my treatment, and this wouldn’t have been possible with AR’s busy schedule in Chennai, and I didn’t want to disturb anybody, neither my children nor him.”

Saira Banu lauded AR Rahman dismisses rumours linking Mohini Dey

Furthermore, Saira, in her note, dismissed his linkup rumours with Mohini Dey. She lauded him and called ‘a gem of a person’ and even showed her trust towards him. “But he’s an amazing human being. And all I would request is please just let him be the way he is. He is not linked with me; I trust him with my life. That’s how much I love him, and that’s how much he does. So I kindly request you to stop all the false allegations against him, and God bless and my sincere prayers that we are left alone and given space at this moment, not officially anything yet,” Saira further added.

“I’ll be coming back to Chennai soon, but I have to complete my treatment and then come. Okay? So, I request you to kindly stop tarnishing his name, which is absolutely rubbish. And, like I said, he’s a gem of a person. Thank you,” she concluded in her note.

About AR Rahman, Saira Banu’s separation

AR Rahman and wife Saira Banu announced their separation almost after 29 years of marriage. The duo shocked fans as they shared a joint statement on Tuesday evening.

They issued a joint statement which reads, “After many years of marriage, Mrs. Saira and her husband Mr. A R. Rahman have made the difficult decision to separate from each other. 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.”

AR Rahman tied the knot with Saira Banu in 1995. They are parents to three children – Khatija, Raheema and Ameen.
