Oscar-winning music composer AR Rahman who was recently admitted to Chennais Apollo Hospital last night has now been discharged and is keeping well. Amid his health crisis AR Rahmans estranged wife Saira Banu opened up about her relationship with AR Rahman. She addressed fans asking them not to refer to her as his ex-wife. On Sunday Saira shared a voice note addressing the situation and said Assalamualaikum. I wish him a speedy recovery. I received the news that he had chest pain and underwent angiography and by the grace of Allah he is fine now; he is doing well. She added I want to tell all of you that we are not officially divorced; we are still husband and wife. Its just that we are separated because I was not feeling well for the last two years and I didnt want to stress him too much. But please dont say ex-wife. Its just that we are separated but my prayers are always with him and I want to say one thing to everyone especially his family—please dont stress him too much and take care of him. Thank you Allah Hafiz. Meanwhile a few months ago Saira Banu was also hospitalized due to a medical emergency. An official statement was shared by her lawyer which stated “On behalf of our client Mrs. Saira Rahman Vandana Shah and Associates issue the following statement regarding her current health condition. A few days ago Mrs. Saira Rahman was hospitalized due to a medical emergency and underwent surgery. During this challenging time her sole focus is on a speedy recovery.” “She deeply appreciates the concern and support from those around her and requests prayers for her well-being from her numerous well-wishers and supporters. Mrs. Saira Rahman would also like to express her heartfelt gratitude to her friends from Los Angeles Resul Pookutty and his wife Shadia as well as Vandana Shah and Mr. Rahman for their unwavering support during this difficult time. She is truly grateful for their kindness and encouragement. God bless. Mrs. Saira Rahman also seeks privacy during this period and expresses gratitude for the understanding from her supporters and well-wishers.” Last year AR Rahman made headlines when he and Saira Banu announced their separation. The duo had been married for 29 years and were blessed with three children—son AR Ameen and two daughters Khatija Rahman and Raheema Rahman.
