Music composer and singer AR Rahman shocked his fans after he announced his separation with wife Saira after 29 years of marriage. Hours before he shared the announcement post on social media, his bassist Mohini Dey also posted the news of her divorce with husband Mark Hurtsuch. The timing of both the announcements caught the attention of netizens who wondered what's the connection between them.
Now, Rahman and Saira's lawyer Vandana Shah reacted to the online rumours linking the divorce announcements of both the musicians.
She told Republic TV, "There is no connection at all. Saira and Mr Rahman made this decision on their own."
In the wee hours of Wednesday (November 20), Rahman took to his official social media account 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."
On the other hand, in her lengthy post, Mohini mentioned that she and Mark have decided to part ways mutually. She also requested privacy and no judgements from her followers.
Rahman and Saira had married each other in Chennai on 12 March 1995. They are parents to three children - Khatija, Raheema and Ameen.
