AR Rahman's bassist announces her divorce

In a joint post on her Instagram, she wrote: "Dear friends, family, fans, and followers, with a heavy heart, Mark and I announce that we have separated. First, as a commitment to our friends and family, this is a mutual understanding between us.

While we remain great friends, we have both decided that we want different things in life, and separation through mutual agreement was the best way to proceed.

We will still be working on several projects together, including MaMoGi and the Mohini Dey groups. We have always prided ourselves on working well together, and that will not stop anytime soon. :)

The big thing we want to wish is love to everyone out there in the world. We appreciate your support in all the ways you have given it to us. Please honor the decision we have made by being positive towards us during this time and respecting our privacy. We would appreciate no judgments."

Meanwhile, Oscar-winning music maestro AR Rahman and his wife, Saira Banu, have decided to separate after nearly three decades of marriage.

AR Rahman took to X and 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."

His son, Ameen, also took to his Instagram Stories and requested privacy during this time. We kindly request everyone to respect our privacy during this time. Thank you for your understanding," he wrote.
