Rahman’s First Appearance Post-Separation
The Oscar-winning musician was seen in Goa, attending the 55th IFFI (International Film Festival of India) 2024. The music maestro was present at the film festival for a session on "Lata Mangeshkar Memorial Talk: Musical Theatre in India." The Slumdog Millionaire composer posed for the media, and on his way back, he waved at the paparazzi. During the session, the artist talked about how he almost worked with Michael Jackson. He shared, "So, post-Oscars, I met him, and he said, Why don’t we do the next The Other World? I told him about the meeting with Mr. Shankar that I was doing. Shankar said, It would be great if you guys do a song. So, I called Michael Jackson, and he said, Whatever you say. Then I went, but he was starting a tour, and in three or four months, he left."
AR Rahman and Saira Banu’s Separation
While it has been widely reported that AR Rahman and Saira Banu have divorced, official statements mention that the two have separated. Saira’s lawyer, Vandana Shah, shared an official statement on her behalf, saying, “After many years of marriage, Mrs. Saira has made the difficult decision to separate from her husband, Mr. A. R. Rahman. This decision comes after significant emotional strain in their relationship. Despite their deep love for each other, the couple has found that the tensions and difficulties have created an insurmountable gap between them, one that neither party feels able to bridge at this time.”
