Music composer and singer AR Rahman and his wife, Saira Banu, left everyone stunned when they announced their separation after 29 years of marriage. On November 19, just hours after they shared their post on social media, Rahman’s bassist, Mohini Dey, also revealed her divorce from her husband, Mark Hurtsuch.
The coincidence in the timing of both announcements led many netizens to speculate about a possible connection between them.
Adding to that Rahman and Saira’s lawyer denied any links between the two separations, now Mohini addressed the rumors circulating online and urged people to respect her privacy.
In a separate development, Rahman’s son, AR Ameen, strongly responded to the rumors about his parents’ alleged separation, which were tied to Mohini Dey. He called his father a “legend” and expressed his disappointment over the spread of false rumors.
He stressed the importance of truth and respect when discussing someone’s life and legacy, encouraging others to refrain from spreading misinformation and to uphold his father’s dignity and the significant impact he has had on many.
Meanwhile, Mohini Dey, a skilled music composer, producer, and vocalist, began her musical journey at the age of nine. Throughout her career, she has worked with several prominent international artists, including Zakir Hussain, Shivamani, Willow Smith, Steve Vai, Marco Minnemann, Jordan Rudes, and others, in addition to her collaborations with Rahman.
