Music legend AR Rahman has always preferred to keep his personal life and family mostly away from the media attention. But, the announcement of his separation from his wife, Saira Banu, has brought AR Rahman and his family under the spotlight. Taking to his X handle, the singer shared a new post explaining his point of view on the separation and confirming it. 

The music maestro emotionally reflected on his bond with his wife Saira over the last 29 years and penned a heartfelt note over it. He mentioned how he yearned for them to complete three decades of togetherness and expressed gratitude to his loved ones. 

He took to his X handle to share it and wrote, "We had hoped to reach the grand thirty, 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 your kindness and for respecting our privacy as we walk through this fragile chapter."

The post came a few minutes after Saira Banu's unexpected separation announcement. In an official statement presented by her lawyer, she cited 'significant emotional strain' in their relationship and their inability to bridge the gaps created over time due to ‘tensions and differences’ as the cause for their separation.

Rahman and Saira tied the knot in 1995 and continued to support each other in different endeavors. They lived happily married lives together, sharing peeks into the same through Instagram posts until this news came. They are parents to three children—Khatija, Raheema, and Ameen. 

AR Rahman has a busy workfront with renowned projects like Chhaava, Thug Life, and Gandhi Talks.
