Separation of AR Rahman and Saira

On Tuesday evening, they released a joint statement: “After many years of marriage, Mrs. Saira and her husband Mr. A R. Rahman have taken the very difficult decision of separating from each other. This decision comes after significant emotional strain in their relationship. Despite their deep love for each other, the couple has found that tensions and difficulties have presented an insurmountable gap between them, one that neither feels capable of bridging at this point in time.”

Taking to Twitter a little after midnight in the intervening night of Tuesday and Wednesday, 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.”. Thanks for your kindness and for respecting our privacy as we go through this fragile chapter.
