Maestro A.R. Rahman has been admitted to a well-known private medical facility situated on Greams Road in Chennai after experiencing an unexpected bout of chest discomfort. The legendary musician and Academy Award-winning composer is currently receiving treatment at Apollo Hospital, where a team of doctors is attentively monitoring his condition.
According to medical sources, Rahman is responding well to treatment and is likely to be discharged by midday. Reports indicate that he initially complained of pain in his neck and opted to undergo a medical examination upon returning from an international trip. Further updates regarding his health are anticipated soon.
This development follows a recent health scare involving Rahman’s former spouse, Saira Banu, who was hospitalized a few weeks ago due to a medical crisis. It has been reported that she had to undergo a surgical procedure as part of her treatment. After her hospitalization, Saira issued an official health update through a statement released by her legal representative, Vandana Shah.
In her message, Saira Rahman expressed heartfelt gratitude towards A.R. Rahman and others for their unwavering support during her time of distress. She stated, “A few days ago, I was admitted to the hospital following a medical emergency and subsequently had to undergo surgery. Right now, my only priority is to focus on my recovery and regain my health. I am deeply touched by the outpouring of love and concern from those around me. I sincerely appreciate the prayers and well wishes from my numerous supporters and well-wishers.”
The statement further extended her appreciation to her close circle of friends and well-wishers. “I would like to express my profound gratitude to my friends in Los Angeles, Resul Pookutty and his wife Shadia, as well as Vandana Shah and Mr. Rahman, for their steadfast support during this challenging time. Their kindness, encouragement, and constant reassurance have meant the world to me. May God bless them all.”
A.R. Rahman and Saira Banu were married in 1995 and built a family together over the years. The couple shares three children—two daughters, Khatija and Rahima, and a son named Ameen Rahman. However, after nearly three decades of marriage, they publicly announced their decision to part ways in November 2024 through a joint statement.
