When Saira Banu, the ex-wife of AR Rahman, said she had no idea what he was doing during their honeymoon: "He was in a different room."
After 29 years of marriage, composer AR Rahman recently announced his divorce from Saira Banu. The news of their split has shocked and saddened their followers, who were married in 1995. After declaring his divorce, Rahman also tweeted about his feelings. "We had hoped to reach the grand thirty," he wrote, "but everything appears to have an invisible limit. The weight of wounded hearts may make even God's throne shake. Even though the parts might not find their home again, we look for meaning in this shattering. We are grateful to our friends for their generosity and for protecting our privacy during this delicate time.
It's interesting to note that Saira is the sister of Meherunnisa, the wife of well-known Malayalam actor Rashin Rahman. Actor Rahman recently discussed his differences from his brother-in-law AR Rahman in an interview. He claimed to be more spiritual. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, he had remarked, "I recall that when he got married, he brought my sister-in-law to a hill location for their honeymoon. It was just twelve or one when I called them that evening. She replied that she was already asleep. "Where is Rahman?" I inquired. She said, "I'm not sure." He was practicing his veena in another room. He is the type of person who was writing something.
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.
