AR Rahman made his first public appearance at the 55th IFFI in Goa following the announcement of his separation from wife Saira Banu after 29 years of marriage. Attending a session on "Lata Mangeshkar Memorial Talk: Musical Theatre in India," the Oscar-winning composer appeared somber and avoided interacting with fans and media, though he waved before leaving.
The couple released a joint statement citing emotional strain as the reason for their separation, emphasizing their deep respect for each other and requesting privacy during this challenging time. Amid speculation connecting Rahman’s separation to bassist Mohini Dey’s divorce, announced on the same day, Rahman and Saira denied any link, with Rahman threatening legal action against false allegations.
Saira clarified she moved to Mumbai for health reasons, praising Rahman as a supportive husband. She urged the media to stop spreading misinformation, affirming their mutual love and respect.
