Music maestro AR Rahman, who recently announced his separation from his wife Saira Banu after 29 years of marriage, is facing rumors about taking a break from music. However, his children, Khatija and Ameen Rahman, have strongly denied these claims, labeling them as baseless.
The rumors of Rahman taking a year-long hiatus from his music career surfaced after the news of his split from Saira Banu became public. The couple, who share three children, Khatija, Ameen, and Raheema, made the announcement through legal representatives last month, citing “significant emotional strain” in their relationship.
Khatija and Ameen Respond to Rumors
Khatija Rahman, AR Rahman’s eldest daughter, took to social media to clear the air, urging people to stop spreading the false rumor. In a response to a now-deleted post on X (formerly Twitter), Khatija expressed her frustration with the misinformation. She posted, “Please stop spreading such useless rumours.”
AR Rahman’s son, Ameen Rahman, also addressed the false news by sharing a screenshot of the article on his Instagram stories. He dismissed the rumors as “Fake News” and reaffirmed that they were completely false.
The Couple’s Separation Announcement
Earlier, AR Rahman and Saira Banu issued a joint statement announcing their separation. The statement shared by their lawyer emphasized that the decision was a result of ongoing emotional strain in their relationship. Despite their mutual love and respect for each other, the couple acknowledged the insurmountable gap between them, which they felt could not be bridged at this time.
“After many years of marriage, Saira and her husband, A. R. Rahman, have made the difficult decision to separate from each other. 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,” the statement read.
The Rahman family has requested privacy during this difficult time, urging the public to respect their wishes.
A Career Still Going Strong
Despite the rumors about his career, AR Rahman, the composer of iconic music for films like Dil Se, Taal, and Slumdog Millionaire, continues to be one of the most influential figures in the global music industry. His fans and followers can rest assured that there are no plans for a hiatus from the legendary musician’s side, as clarified by his children.
