“He is like my father” – Mohini Dey on AR Rahman

AR Rahman’s bassist Mohini Dey has broken her silence amid the linkup rumours with the composer. The rumours started when AR Rahman and Mohini announced their separation from their respective partners at the same time. The Oscar-winning composer had sent a legal notice to the slanderers spreading defamatory content and his estranged wife Saira Banu, too, urged people not to malign his name. And now, Mohini too has reacted to it.

She shared a video addressing the rumours and said that the composer is like a father figure to her. “I respect him a lot, he is just like my father. His daughter is exactly my age. We have a lot of respect an love for each other,” said the musician and urged people to be kind and respectful.

Sharing the video, she wrote, “It is utterly unbelievable to see the amount of misinformation and baseless assumptions/claims against me & @arrahman It feels criminal that the media has vulgarised the two events

Her caption continued, “It saddens me to see people’s state of mind.
@arrahman is a legend and he is just like father to me!
I have many role models & father figures in life that have played vital roles in my career and upbringing.
To name a few- My dad who taught me everything music (who I lost a year ago) and then @ranjitbarot1 who introduced me to the industry, @louizbanksofficial who shaped me & @arrahman who gave me the freedom to shine in his shows and his musical arrangements during recording sessions.
I cherish and treasure that and will always do!
Media/Paps do not understand the affect it has on people’s minds and lives. Be sensitive.
I don’t owe anyone any explanations but also, I don’t want this to brew and interrupt my day so, Kindly stop with the false claims & Respect our privacy.
Love,
Mo”
