Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman and his wife, Saira Banu, announced their separation after nearly three decades of marriage.
The couple, who have been married since 1995, shared the heart-breaking news via a joint statement posted by their lawyer, Vandana Shah, on Instagram late Tuesday night. Describing the decision to part ways as a “fragile chapter” in their lives, the statement read, "Despite their deep love for each other, the couple has found that the tensions and difficulties have created an insurmountable gap between them, one that neither party feels able to bridge at this time."
