Composer AR Rahman has recently announced his separation from his wife, Saira Banu, after 29 years of marriage.
The couple, who tied the knot in 1995, has left their fans devastated by this unexpected news.
Interestingly, Saira is the sister of Meherunnisa, the wife of well-known Malayalam actor Rashin Rahman. In a recent interview, actor Rashin shared how he differs from his brother-in-law, AR Rahman. He mentioned that he is more spiritual than the celebrated composer. Rashin recalled an instance during AR Rahman’s honeymoon, when he called them late at night—around 12 or 1 AM. Saira answered, saying she was already asleep. When Rashin asked about Rahman, she replied, “I don’t know,” explaining that Rahman was in another room, practicing his veena and working on a composition. “He’s that kind of person,” Rashin added
