‘Stop tarnishing AR Rahman’s name, he’s a gem of a person’: Saira
After she announced her separation from her husband and Oscar and Grammy winning music composer AR Rahman, Saira Rahman has revealed that she has been “physically unwell for the last couple of months” and so she “wanted to take a break from AR.”
In a voice note shared by her lawyer Vandana Shah, Saira, where she referred to herself as Saira Rahman and shared that she trusts AR Rahman with her life and that he is “a gem of a person”.
Saira said, “This is Saira Rahman here. I’m currently in Bombay. I have been physically unwell for the last couple of months. So that’s the reason I just wanted to take a break from AR. But I would request the entire YouTube, YouTubers, the Tamil media, please do not say anything bad against him.”
“He’s a gem of a person, the best man in the world.”
Saira revealed that she had to leave Chennai due to health issues.
“Yes, it’s just because of my health issues, I had to leave Chennai. I know if I’m not in Chennai, you people will wonder where Saira is. And I’ve come here to Bombay. I’m going ahead with my treatment. I mean, this couldn’t have been possible with AR’s busy schedule in Chennai.
“And I didn’t want to disturb anybody, neither my children nor him. But he’s an amazing human being. And all I would request is please just let him be the way he is. He is not linked with, I trust him with my life,” she said.
“That’s how much I love him,” Saira added.
“And that’s how much he does. So I kindly request you to stop all the false allegations against him and God bless, and my sincere prayers that we are left alone and given a space at this moment, not announced officially anything yet. I’ll be coming back to Chennai soon. But I have to complete my treatment and then come,” she said.
Saira concluded her note by saying, “So I request you to kindly stop tarnishing his name. It is absolutely rubbish. And like I said, he's a gem of a person.”
It was earlier this month, when AR Rahman and Saira announced that they have decided to separate after 29 years of marriage. The award-winning composer had taken to X where he shared that while they had hoped to reach their ‘grand thirty,’ life had other plans.
“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…
