Music composer and singer AR Rahman and his wife Saira shocked everyone after they announced their separation after 29 years of marriage. On November 19, hours before they shared the announcement post on social media, Rahman's bassist Mohini Dey also posted the news of her divorce with husband Mark Hurtsuch. The timing of both the announcements caught the attention of netizens who wondered what's the connection between them.
A day after Rahman and Saira's lawyer rubbished links between both the announcements, Mohini also reacted to the online rumours and asked everyone to respect her privacy.
She wrote on her Instagram story, "I've been getting a humungous amount of requests for interviews and I know exactly what its about so, I have to respectfully turn each one down because I am not interested in fueling into ABSOLUTE BS."
She added, "I believe my energy is not worth spending on RUMOURS. Kindly, respect my privacy."
AR Rahman, Saira's daughter and son slam trolls
Earlier today, Rahman's daughter Raheema Rahman also reacted to the rumours, lashing out at trolls for speculating and spreading lies about the situation.
She shared a note which read, "Always remember... Rumours are carried by haters, spread by fools, and accepted by idiots." Along with that, she wrote, "Honestly, get a life."
Rahman's son Ameen also strongly reacted to the rumours of his parents' separation linked to Mohini Dey. Calling his father a 'legend', he said, "It’s disheartening to see false and baseless rumours being spread. Let us all remember the importance of truth and respect when speaking about someone’s life and legacy. Please refrain from engaging in or spreading such misinformation. Let’s honour and preserve his dignity and the incredible impact he has had on all of us."
