Saira Banu reacts to link-up rumours
The timing of Mohini’s divorce announcement with her husband reportedly sparked rumours on social media linking her to Rahman. Breaking the silence over this, Saira dismissed all the rumours and revealed the main reason behind their separation.
In an official voice clip, Saira said that she is currently in Bombay and has not been physically well for the last couple of months. She added, “That’s the reason I just wanted to take a break from AR. But I would request the entire YouTube, YouTubers, and 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. Yes, it’s just because of my health issues, I had to leave Chennai. Because I knew if I was not in Chennai, you people would wonder where Saira is. And I’ve come here to Bombay. I’m going ahead with my treatment. And this couldn’t have been possible.”
Calling the Oscar-winning singer an ‘amazing human being’, Saira Banu further added, “With AR’s busy schedule in Chennai, 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 anyone. 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 stop all the false allegations against him.
“God bless and my sincere prayers that we are left alone and given a 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 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,” Saira Banu signed off.
Before Saira Banu, renowned music composer AR Rahman also sent a legal notice to the defamers after reports of his alleged link-up with bassist Mohini Dey.
