Academy Award-winning musician AR Rahman is making headlines for his support of his ex-wife, Saira Banu, who is currently facing a health crisis.

The couple, who announced their separation after 29 years of marriage in 2024, have demonstrated a mutual respect and care despite their personal challenges.

Saira was recently hospitalised in Los Angeles due to a medical emergency requiring surgery. Although details of her condition have not been disclosed, her representatives released a statement emphasising her focus on recovery.

In her statement, Saira expressed “deep gratitude” for the support she has received during this difficult time, particularly acknowledging her friends in Los Angeles, including Resul Pookutty and his wife Shadia, along with AR Rahman, who has been by her side throughout her ordeal.

Despite their divorce, Rahman’s continued support has been noted. Saira has requested privacy as she navigates her recovery and appreciates the concern and prayers from her well-wishers.
