    AR Rahman Divorce News: AR Rahman's wife Saira Banu announces Separation; lawyer releases official statement | - Times of India

    Saira's laywer Vandana Shah released the statement:

    "AR Rahman's wife, Saira, has announced that she and the music maestro are separating. Saira's lawyer, Vandana Shah, shared an official statement about their decision to part ways.
    “After many years of marriage, Mrs Saira has made the difficult decision to separate from her husband Mr. AR Rahman. 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. Mrs Saira emphasised that she has taken this decision out of pain and agony. Mrs Saira requests privacy and understanding from the public during this challenging time, as she navigates this difficult chapter in her life,” the statement read."

    Random thought 1: Why do celebrities announce their divorce and then request privacy? Why not just quietly divorce and move on? Especially when only one of the couple is a celebrity. If both are celebs, like Alia & Ranbir, ok public might be interested.

    Random thought 2: The tweet from AR Rahman was probably composed (pun intended) with lots of thought and effort. Then, why such a corny message like we had hoped to reach grand thirty, throne tremble, etc?

    Random thought 3: Will it impact his future music composition?

    Not random thought - it is good to see that Siara's statement came out first, and it reads "Mrs Saira has made the difficult decision to separate from her husband Mr. AR Rahman." This is classy. It gives some clue to the public without sugar-coating it as a joint decision.

    It’s not easy to be a partner of a celebrity- ARR himself mentioned to Simmi Grewal that he didn’t have time to find a bride and instead asked his mother to find a simple girl for him who would only support him. This is actually sad - the relationship started with no respect or wish to know about her. As long as she is supportive to his endeavors, he was ready to marry. I wonder if it’s better for these workaholic people to stay unmarried. He’s great with what he does - why to involve someone else in his life when he doesn’t have any room for anyone or anything else outside music.

    Very sad!
    Will his chirpy music be henceforth melancholic? But Swan Songs have their appeal too..

    On a lighter note, I wonder if we should coin the term 'white divorce' for this - wherein divorce happens after 20 plus years of marriage and AFTER kids marriage :joycat:

    But whatever it was, the wife tolerated it for 29 full years before calling it quits:worship2:

    Yeah I read that, and found the interview:

    YouTube Video - ARR Interview with Simi Grewal
    (long video, go to 30:03 where he describes his specifications he gave his mom, nice to see how Simi Grewal corrects him and says what he actually gave in specs.)

    Most likely it is another woman.

    ARR lost all the respect with the way he conducted the program in Chennai which led to women being abused due to lack of crowd control. He never repaid people who couldn’t get to the avenue nor he showed any remorse . He will only show the public what he wants us to see. There is no doubt about his talent .
