    Is AR Rahman Taking A Career Break?

    It should be noted that AR Rahman has been replaced from Suriya’s film at a time when the rumours of him taking a career break have been making headlines. Even though the singer’s daughter Khatija Rahman dismissed this speculation recently, Sai Abhyankkar’s replacing him has once again left netizens worried.

    Meanwhile, AR Rahman has also been making headlines ever since he announced his separation from his wife, Saira Banu. The couple, who tied the knot in 1995, confirmed their separation in November this year. They issued a joint statement and revealed that they have decided to part ways.

    “After many years of marriage, Mrs Saira has made the difficult decision to separate from her husband Mr AR Rahman.

Mrs Saira requests privacy and understanding from the public during this challenging time," the statement read.

    Later, AR Rahman also addressed the separation on X (formerly Twitter) and shared a poetic and heartfelt message: “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 (sic)."
