Chennai: Celebrated music composer AR Rahman’s divorce from wife Saira Rahman after 29 years of marriage had surprised many.
Now, after months of separation, the estranged couple is once again in the news — this time for their sweet gesture for one another.
Recently, following a medical emergency, Saira had to undergo surgery.
After the surgery, Saira released a press note thanking Rahman and friends Resul Pookutty, his wife Shadia, and legal counsel Vandana Shah for their ‘unwavering support’.
The statement, shared on Instagram by a paparazzi, read as, “A few days ago Mrs. Saira Rahman was hospitalised due to a medical emergency, and underwent surgery. During this challenging time, her sole focus is on a speedy recovery. She deeply appreciates the concern and support from those around her and requests prayers for her well-being from her numerous well-wishers and supporters.”
