Oscar-winning music composer AR Rahman and wife Saira Banu announced separation after 29 years of marriage. While Saira let her lawyer Vandana Shah release a statement on her behalf, the Mozart of Madras resorted to a post on X, formerly Twitter. While both parties requested privacy, the internet noticed Rahman creating a hashtag for news about his divorce.

AR Rahman took to X and 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."
