In an emotional statement shared on his X account (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday, Rahman reflected on the heartbreak of their separation while asking for privacy during this difficult time.
Rahman’s Emotional Statement
In his post, Rahman wrote:
“We had hoped to reach the grand thirty, but all things, it seems, carry an unseen end. Even the throne of God might tremble at the weight of broken hearts. Yet, in this shattering, we seek meaning, though the pieces may not find their place again. To our friends, thank you for your kindness and for respecting our privacy as we walk through this fragile chapter.”
Family Requests Privacy
The Rahman family has openly expressed their heartbreak over this decision. Their son Ameen took to Instagram Stories, writing, “We kindly request everyone to respect our privacy during this time. Thank you for your understanding.”
Rahman’s daughter Raheema echoed similar sentiments, sharing a message on Instagram that read, “Keep us in your prayers.”
A 30-Year Journey Ends
Rahman and Saira Banu tied the knot in an arranged marriage in 1995, with blessings from their families. Over the years, the couple built a strong bond and shared three children: Khatija, Raheema, and Ameen. Despite their personal loss, the family has chosen to remain composed and asked fans to support them through this challenging chapter.
As one of Bollywood’s most celebrated personalities, Rahman’s decision has left his admirers and colleagues alike respecting his request for privacy while offering heartfelt prayers for the family.
