AR Rahman’s son AR Ameen reacts to ‘baseless and false rumours’ about dad’s divorce connection Mohini Dey; ‘Let us all remember…’

As a long-time admirer of AR Rahman’s music and the values he embodies, I find myself deeply saddened by the recent news of his separation from Saira Banu. As someone who has grown up listening to his melodious compositions, I can’t help but feel a sense of loss, not just for the fans, but for the entire music industry that has been enriched by his talent and grace.

29 years after their marriage, AR Rahman and Saira Banu have announced they are separating. A day following this news, bassist Mohini Dey, who frequently works with Rahman, disclosed her separation from her husband, musician Mark Hartsuch. This timing has led to rumors suggesting a connection between Rahman’s divorce and Dey’s. In response, AR Ameen, Rahman’s son, took to social media to debunk such unfounded speculations, urging everyone to remember the significance of truth and respect when discussing someone’s life and accomplishments.

Ameen, AR Rahman’s son, wrote a post that said: “My dad is more than just a legendary figure due to his remarkable achievements; he’s also earned respect, values, and love throughout the years. It’s saddening to witness unfounded rumors being circulated. Let us all uphold truthfulness and respect when discussing someone’s life story and enduring legacy.

It continued, “Please refrain from engaging in or spreading such misinformation. Let’s honor and preserve his dignity and the incredible impact he has had on all of us.”

The news of their split took the music enthusiasts by surprise, leaving them puzzled about the cause behind this breakup. AR Rahman and Saira Banu got married in 1995 and have three children: Khatija, Rahima, and Ameen Rahman.

AR Rahman expressed his thoughts about separation on X (previously Twitter) by posting a poignant and emotional message: “We had hoped to reach the significant thirty, but everything, it seems, has an invisible conclusion. The very seat of God may quiver under the burden of shattered hearts.

It further read, “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. 

In an interview with IANS, Vandana Shah, representing Rahman, expressed her views on their separation and the rising trend of divorces. She pointed out that divorces are increasingly occurring worldwide and are expected to persist, while the tradition of marriage is likely to carry on as well.

I’ve been noticing something quite profound recently: modern relationships seem to fall short on the very essence of what makes them endure – patience and understanding. It struck me, as I watched Shah speak, how we can be so tolerant with our friends but often struggle with the same grace in our marriages. She emphasized that this tolerance is not just nice-to-have but a vital component for a strong marital bond. This insight has left an indelible mark on me, as I reflect on my own journey and strive to cultivate more patience and understanding in my relationship.
