AR Rahman Announces Divorce from Saira Bhanu After 29 Years, Creates #arrsairaabreakup Hashtag
In a surprising revelation, iconic musician AR Rahman and his wife Saira Bhanu announced the end of their 29-year-long marriage. The couple, who tied the knot in 1995 through an arranged marriage orchestrated by Rahman’s mother, have decided to part ways.
The news, which quickly gained attention on social media, was first shared by Rahman through a heartfelt message on Twitter. Expressing the emotional strain of their relationship, 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.” He further conveyed the couple’s resolve to seek meaning in their separation, despite the pain it caused.
In an unexpected twist, Rahman added a lighthearted touch to the announcement by creating the hashtag “#arrsairaabreakup,” which garnered significant attention online. It’s unusual for such a serious topic to be handled in a somewhat informal, humorous manner, but Rahman’s tweet struck a chord with his followers, who reacted with various comments and messages.
Despite the split, Rahman and Saira, who share three children, have requested privacy and understanding as they navigate this challenging phase in their lives. Rahman’s fans have expressed support for the family, acknowledging the emotional depth behind the decision, while respecting their need for space during this time.
Though the couple couldn’t reach the 30-year milestone they had hoped for, their announcement marked a poignant end to a long chapter of their lives.
