Composer AR Rahman and wife Saira Banu announce divorce after 29 years of marriage
Their marriage, arranged by Rahman’s mother, had been a significant part of the Slumdog Millionaire composer’s journey. Rahman, who was immersed in his career at the time, had entrusted his mother to find him a partner to complement his life and work. Over the years, their relationship remained largely private; despite this, their bond was seen as strong by the public.
After the statement was released, Rahman, 57, wrote on social media platform X: “We had hoped to reach the grand 30, 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 for your kindness and for respecting our privacy as we walk through this fragile chapter.”
