AR Rahman’s son, AR Ameen, has publicly addressed speculations surrounding the recent divorces of his parents, AR Rahman and Saira Banu, and the musician’s bassist, Mohini Dey.
Taking to social media, Ameen expressed his disappointment over the rumors and urged people to respect his father’s legacy.
Ameen shared a note alongside a screenshot debunking the claim that the two divorces are connected. Mohini is also separated from her partner.
In his message, he emphasized the importance of truth and respect, writing, “My father is a legend, not just for his incredible contributions but for the values, respect, and love he has earned over the years. It’s disheartening to see false and baseless rumors being spread. Let’s honor and preserve his dignity and the incredible impact he has had on all of us.”
Ameen’s response follows statements from Saira Banu and Rahman’s lawyer, Vandana Shah, who also denied any link between the two divorces.
Shah clarified that the decision for Rahman and Saira Banu to part ways after 29 years of marriage was entirely personal. Speaking to Republic TV, Shah said, “There is no link between the two. Saira and Mr. Rahman have made this decision independently. Both have been committed partners, and they are now focusing on building better lives, with or without each other.”
The couple announced their separation on Tuesday, citing emotional strain and irreconcilable differences.
In a joint statement, they shared, “After many years of marriage, we have made the difficult decision to separate. Despite our deep love for each other, the tensions and difficulties in our relationship have created an insurmountable gap. We request privacy and understanding during this challenging time.”
