Music composer AR Rahman’s ex-wife, Saira Rahman, was recently hospitalised due to a medical emergency and had to undergo surgery. Her legal team, Vandana Shah and Associates, released a statement on her behalf, assuring that her primary focus is now on recovery.
The statement, shared by a paparazzo on Instagram, read, “A few days ago, Mrs. Saira Rahman was hospitalised 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.”
Saira also expressed her gratitude to AR Rahman, sound designer Resul Pookutty, his wife Shadia, and her legal counsel, Vandana Shah, for their unwavering support. She further requested privacy during this period, thanking everyone for their understanding.
Rahman and Saira announced their separation in November last year after 29 years of marriage, citing emotional strain. However, addressing ongoing speculation, Saira had previously released a voice note clarifying her health issues and urging the media not to speak ill of Rahman. She described him as “a gem of a person” and “the best man in the world.”
