I trust AR Rahman with my life, love him: Saira in new statement after separation

Music composer AR Rahman’s estranged wife, Saira Banu, released a fresh statement to the media, asking everyone to stop ‘tarnishing’ his name. The statement came five days after the couple announced their separation on social media, and requested privacy.

In the statement, Saira expressed her love for Rahman, and asked YouTubers and the media to refrain from hurting him and their family. She also talked about her health, and mentioned that she has been living in Mumbai for a few months and undergoing treatment.

She released an audio statement on Sunday and said, “This is Saira Rahman here. I am currently in Bombay. I have been here for the last couple of months. That’s the reason I wanted to take a break from AR. But, I would request the YouTubers and media not to say anything bad against him. He is a gem of a person, the best man in the world. It’s just because of my health issues that I have not been in Chennai. I knew if I was not in Chennai, people would wonder where Saira was. I am going through treatment. This wouldn’t have been possible with AR’s busy schedule in Chennai.

Saira called her estranged husband ‘the best man in the world’ and requested privacy for both of them in this difficult time. He shared that Rahman and she are in love and their decision is 100 per cent mutual. “He’s an amazing human being. All I would request is to let him be the way he is. I trust him with my life. That’s how much I love him, and that’s how he does. I request you all to stop speculating. God bless! And my sincere prayers that we are left alone and given space at this moment. We are not announcing anything officially yet. You need to stop tarnishing his name. This is absolutely rubbish schedule in Chennai,” she concluded the statement.
