Celebrated musician A R Rahman and his wife Saira Banu announced their separation on Tuesday night, citing emotional strain after 29 years of marriage.
By Wednesday, social media was buzzing with speculations about the reasons behind their divorce.
Adding to the chatter, another separation story involving Mohini Dey, a bassist who has performed with AR Rahman in over 40 shows worldwide, surfaced on the same day.
Mohini announced her divorce from her husband, Mark Hartsuch. The coincidental timing led social media to draw connections between the two events, fueling further speculation.
Additionally, rumors emerged suggesting that Rahman’s plans to move his base to Dubai and his frequent trips abroad might have contributed to the rift in his relationship with Saira Banu.
While it is unwise to speculate on personal matters, the series of news stories within a short span provided ample fodder for online discussions, keeping social media users actively engaged.
