Recently, musician AR Rahman and his wife Saira announced their separation after 29 years of marriage. On 19 November, hours before sharing the announcement 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 rumors and asked everyone to respect her privacy. She wrote on her Instagram story, “I’ve been getting a humongous amount of requests for interviews and I know exactly what it’s about, so, I have to respectfully turn each one down because I am not interested in fueling ABSOLUTE BS.” She then added, “I believe my energy is not worth spending on RUMORS. Kindly, respect my privacy.”
Earlier today, Rahman’s daughter Raheema Rahman also reacted to the rumors, lashing out at trolls for speculating and spreading lies about the situation. She shared a note which read, “Always remember… Rumors 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 rumors of his parents’ separation linked to Mohini Dey. Calling his father a ‘legend,’ he said, “It’s disheartening to see false and baseless rumors 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 honor and preserve his dignity and the incredible impact he has had on all of us.”
