Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman got emotional and penned a note after he and his wife, Saira Banu, decided to separate after nearly three decades of marriage. Taking to X (formerly Twitter) early on Wednesday, the musician shared that “they had hoped to reach the grand thirty”. Calling it a “fragile chapter”, he also said that “in this shattering, we seek meaning”.
AR Rahman wrote, “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 your kindness and for respecting our privacy as we walk through this fragile chapter (bouquet emoji).” He also added the hashtag ARR Sairaa Breakup.
