In a surprising turn of events, renowned music composer AR Rahman and his wife, Saira Banu, recently announced their separation after 29 years of marriage. Hours after the announcement, Mohini Dey, Rahman’s long-time bassist, revealed her own divorce. This timing led to speculation about a possible connection between the two separations, particularly due to the close professional relationship between Rahman and Mohini.

Amidst the swirling rumours, Rahman’s son, AR Ameen, took to Instagram to address the situation. He expressed disappointment at the spreading of false claims. “My father is a legend, not just for his incredible contributions, but for the values, respect, and love he has earned over the years. It’s disheartening to see false and baseless rumours being spread. Let us all remember the importance of truth and respect when speaking about someone’s life and legacy. Please refrain from engaging in or spreading such misinformation. Let’s honour and preserve his dignity and the incredible impact he has had on all of us,” Ameen wrote.

This situation highlights the intense scrutiny celebrities often face, with their personal lives being subjected to public speculation. Ameen’s message serves as a reminder to focus on Rahman’s legacy and musical contributions, rather than getting caught up in rumours. It also calls for respect for the privacy of individuals and their families, especially those who have made such significant cultural contributions.
