In a dramatic turn of events, music maestro AR Rahman and his wife, Saira Banu, announced their decision to separate after 29 years of marriage. On the same day, celebrated bassist Mohini Dey revealed her split from husband Mark Hartsuch. The timing of these announcements fueled wild speculations about a possible link between the two.
Addressing the rumours, AR Rahman’s son, AR Ameen, took to Instagram to vehemently deny any connection. “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 in his Instagram story.
AR Rahman’s lawyer, Vandana Shah, also dismissed the allegations, emphasizing that the decision by Rahman and Saira Banu to separate was made independently. Speaking to Republic TV, Shah stated, “There is no connection at all.”
Mohini Dey, a highly acclaimed bass guitarist who has collaborated with Rahman on multiple tours, also issued a statement regarding her separation. Dey and Hartsuch shared a joint post on Instagram, announcing their mutual decision to part ways and requesting privacy during this time. “The big thing we want to wish is love to everyone out there in the world. We appreciate your support in all of the ways you have given it to us. Please honour the decision we have made by being positive towards us at this time and respecting our privacy. We would appreciate no judgements,” the post read.
The speculative stories linking these two separations have drawn criticism from fans and followers, who have urged the public to respect the privacy of all parties involved. Both AR Rahman and Mohini Dey have built their legacies on immense talent and hard work, and they now ask for understanding as they navigate personal challenges.
