AR Rahman and his now-estranged wife Saira announced their separation on November 19. The couple, who were married for 29 years, decided to separate due to a huge distance in their relationship. Amid the announcement, an old interview of Rahman’s brother is going viral in which he claimed that the music maestro and his wife slept in separate rooms on their honeymoon as Rahman was busy practicing music.

A few weeks ago, AR Rahman’s brother actor Rahman had shared an anecdote in an interview with Siddharth Kannan. It was a light-hearted conversation where he was trying to explain Rahman’s dedication to music. He shared, “I remember, when he got married, he took my sister-in-law to a hill station for their honeymoon. I called him that night; it was 12 or 1 o’clock… he replied, he She was already sleeping.” I asked, ‘Where is Rahman?’ He said, ‘I don’t know’ He was practicing his harp in the other room, he’s that kind of person.

AR Rahman’s wife Saira Banu announced their separation on November 19“This decision comes after significant emotional stress in their relationship. Despite their deep love for each other, the couple have found that the stress and difficulties have created a huge gap between them, which neither party can bridge. Does not feel capable at this time. Saira stressed that she has taken this decision due to pain and suffering,” the statement said.

The Oscar-winning composer responded with a post on X which read, “We had hoped to reach the grand thirty, but it seems that all things have an unseen end. Even the throne of God can tremble under the weight of broken hearts. Yet “In this scattering, we find meaning, even though the pieces may never find their place again. Thank you, our friends, for your kindness and for respecting our privacy as we go through this delicate chapter.”

Both of them and their families have requested privacy.
