What Now! A Hashtag For Rahman's Divorce

Later last night, AR Rahman's wife Saira Bhanu announced separation from the former. The couple thus ended 29 years of their marriage on amicable terms.

“After many years of marriage, Mrs Saira has made the difficult decision to separate from her husband Mr. AR Rahman. This decision comes after significant emotional strain in their relationship.

Despite their deep love for each other, the couple has found that the tensions and difficulties have created an insurmountable gap between them, one that neither party feels able to bridge at this time. Mrs Saira emphasised that she has taken this decision out of pain and agony. Mrs Saira requests privacy and understanding from the public during this challenging time, as she navigates this difficult chapter in her life.” The communication from Saira's lawyer read.

In response, Rahman shared a social media post himself and he had an interesting reaction to the saga here. He even created a hashtag for the divorce announcement.

“We had hoped to reach the grand thirty, but all things, it seems, carry an unseen end. Even the throne of God might tremble at the weight of broken hearts. Yet, in this shattering, we seek meaning, though the pieces may not find their place again. To our friends, thank you for your kindness and for respecting our privacy as we walk through this fragile chapter.” #arrsairaabreakup” Rahman tweeted a short while back. The fact that he created “arsairaabreakup hashtag for divorce announcement is a curveball that no one saw coming.
