New Delhi:

Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman and wife Saira Banu announced divorce on Tuesday after 29 years of marriage. AR Rahman fans are in a state of disbelief as everything seems perfect in his life. A day after Saira Banu’s lawyer announced divorce, AR Rahman shared his thoughts in an X post. AR Rahman faced criticism on the internet because he used #arrsairabreakup with the post. Confirming the news of separation, AR Rahman wrote, “We had hoped to reach the Grand Thirty, but it seems all things have an unseen end. Even the throne of God is full of broken hearts.” May tremble under the weight. Yet, shattered in this, we seek meaning, even if the pieces cannot find their place again. Thank you, our friends, for your kindness and respect for our privacy as we go through this delicate chapter. ” The Internet was not impressed with the hashtag at all and the comments section is filled with negative comments.

Let’s take a look at the comments. One user wrote, “Who creates a hashtag for this situation? Fire your admin, Thalaivaa.” Another comment read, “Chatgpt and hashtags? Admin.” Another comment read, “Why the hashtag?” Another sarcastic comment said, “Thank you for using the hashtag #arrsairabreakupz. It will give you full privacy as per the new X-Privacy law.” Another comment said, “Sad for them. God give them strength. But why the hashtag? Social media team???” Another comment read, “You don’t need a # to ask people to respect your privacy.” Another comment read, “Bro, that hashtag is going to be talked about more than your breakup.”

“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 if the pieces can never find their place again. To our friends, thank you for this…

On Tuesday night, Saira Banu’s lawyer Vandana Shah and Associates released a statement, which read, “After many years of marriage, Mrs. Saira and her husband Mr. AR Rahman have taken the difficult decision to separate from each other Is.” Explaining the reason behind this big decision, the statement said, “Despite their deep love for each other, the couple has found that stress and difficulties have created a huge gap between them, which cannot be bridged.” “Neither side feels competent at this point.” It further reads, “Mrs. Saira and her husband Mr. A.R. Rahman request privacy and understanding from the public during this challenging time, as they go through this difficult chapter of their lives.”

AR Rahman and Saira Banu were married on 12 March 1995. They have three children – daughters Khatija and Rahima and son Ameen. The music legend revealed in an interview that his mother and sister saw Saira for the first time at the Dargah of Sufi saint Moti Baba in Chennai. He said, “My mother did not know Saira or her family, but since they lived just five houses away from the temple, she went there and talked to them. Everything happened very naturally.”
