Saira Clarifies: ‘He Is Not Linked With…’

‘I
trust
him
with
my
life.
That’s
how
much
I
love
him,
and
that’s
how
much
he
does.’

Saira
Banu,
who
recently
announced
her


separation
from
husband
A
R
Rahman,
reflected
on
their
relationship
in
a
voice
note.

She
also
shared
that
she
has
been
‘physically
unwell
for
the
last
couple
of
months’
and
decided
to
‘take
a
break
from
AR’
to
focus
on
her
treatment
in
Mumbai.

In
the
voice
note,
which
was
shared
by
her
advocate
Vandana
Shah,
Saira
praised
Rahman
and
asked
people
not
to
tarnish
his
name.

‘This
is
Saira
Rahman
here.
I’m
currently
in
Bombay.
I’ve
been
physically
unwell
for
the
last
couple
of
months.
So
that’s
the
reason
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
break
from
AR
but
I
would
request
the
YouTubers,
the
Tamil
media,
please,
please
do
not
say
anything
bad
against
him.
He’s
a
gem
of
a
person,
the
best
man
in
the
world,’
Saira
said.

‘It’s
just
because
of
my
health
issues
I
had
to
leave
Chennai
because
I
knew
if
I’m
not
in
Chennai,
you
people
will
wonder
where
Saira
is.
And
I’ve
come
here
to
Bombay.
I’m
going
ahead
with
my
treatment,
and
this
wouldn’t
have
been
possible
with
AR’s
busy
schedule
in
Chennai,
and
I
didn’t
want
to
disturb
anybody,
neither
my
children
nor
him.

‘But
he’s
an
amazing
human
being.
And
all
I
would
request
is
please
just
let
him
be
the
way
he
is.
He
is
not
linked
with…

‘I
trust
him
with
my
life.
That’s
how
much
I
love
him,
and
that’s
how
much
he
does.

‘So
I
kindly
request
you
to
stop
all
the
false
allegations
against
him,
and
God
bless.
And
my
sincere
prayers
that
we
are
left
alone
and
given
space
at
this
moment,
not
announced
officially
anything
yet.

‘I’ll
be
coming
back
to
Chennai
soon
but
I
have
to
complete
my
treatment
and
then
come.
Okay?
So
I
request
you
to
kindly
stop
tarnishing
his
name,
which
is
absolutely
rubbish.
And,
like
I
said,
he’s
a
gem
of
a
person.
Thank
you.’

The
news
of
Rahman
and
Saira’s
separation
was
shared
through
a
joint
statement
issued
by
Saira’s
lawyer,
Vandana
Shah.

The
couple
stated
that
their
decision
was
due
to
‘significant
emotional
strain’
in
their
relationship.

A
R
Rahman
and
Saira
married
in
1995
and
share
three
children,
Khatija,
Raheema
and
Ameen.
