AR Rahman Separation from Saira Banu | AR Rahman’s Health Update and Heartfelt Moment with Saira Banu
Oscar-Winning Composer AR Rahman’s Health Scare
Renowned Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman had a brief hospital stint last night, being admitted to Apollo Hospital in Chennai. However, the musical maestro has now been discharged and is reportedly doing fine.
Saira Banu’s Appeal to Fans
Amidst this health concern, Rahman’s estranged wife, Saira Banu, took to social media to clarify rumors and offer heartfelt words. She issued a voice note that began with a warm “Assalamualaikum,” addressing both Rahman’s well-wishers and her connection with him.
Saira expressed her concern for Rahman’s health in her message, saying, “I wish him a speedy recovery. I heard he experienced chest pain and underwent angiography. By the grace of Allah, he is fine now and doing well.” She went on to correct a common misconception by stating, “We are not officially divorced. We are still husband and wife. We have been separated for two years due to my health issues and to avoid stressing him, but we are connected, and my prayers are always with him.” Requesting fans to refrain from calling her “ex-wife,” she pleaded for Rahman’s family and supporters to ensure he is not overburdened.
The Health Incident Explained
Earlier today, Rahman’s spokesperson shed light on the situation, confirming that the composer felt unwell upon his return from London. He was admitted for a check-up after experiencing discomfort. Fortunately, doctors identified the issue as dehydration, possibly exacerbated by fasting for the holy month of Ramzan.
The spokesperson commented, “He returned from London yesterday and went to the hospital feeling unwell. Doctors confirmed dehydration, likely due to fasting. He has since been discharged and is now recovering well.”
Reflections on a Past Separation
Last year, Rahman and Saira Banu announced their separation after 29 years of marriage. The couple shares three children: son AR Ameen and daughters Khatija and Raheema. The news of their separation was met with an outpouring of support and curiosity about their relationship.
At the time, Rahman opened up about his emotional state on X (formerly Twitter), sharing a post that captured his heartbreak. The post read, “We had hoped to reach the grand thirty, but all things 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.”
Moving Forward
As Rahman recovers, fans around the world send their prayers and support, appreciating his resilience and artistry. His health scare serves as a reminder of the importance of self-care, particularly amidst professional and personal stresses.
