Saira Banu, who recently announced her separation from husband and music legend AR Rahman, has shared a heartfelt message explaining the circumstances surrounding the decision.
In a voice note, Saira revealed that her physical health had been deteriorating for the past couple of months, which led her to take a break from Rahman. Despite the separation, she made it clear that there was no ill will and expressed deep respect for her husband.
“I’ve been physically unwell for some time, which is why I decided to take a break from AR,” Saira explained in the emotional recording. She emphasized that her decision to be in Bombay for treatment was necessary for her well-being, and she did not want to disturb Rahman or their children during this time.
In a powerful plea to the media, Saira urged YouTubers and Tamil media to stop spreading negative rumors about AR Rahman. “He is a gem of a person, the best man in the world,” she stated, expressing her unwavering trust in him. Saira made it clear that despite their separation, she continued to have immense love and respect for Rahman, asking the public to let him be and refrain from tarnishing his name with false accusations.
Saira also revealed that she had left Chennai to focus on her treatment and that Rahman’s hectic schedule had made it difficult for her to receive the support she needed. She assured fans that once her health improves, she would return to Chennai.
In closing, she reiterated her admiration for AR Rahman and requested space for both of them during this difficult time. “He doesn’t deserve any of the negativity being thrown his way,” she concluded, urging the public to respect their privacy.
