Saira Banu recently announced her separation from music maestro AR Rahman, which led to him being subjected to severe social media trolling. Now, Saira has come out in support of Rahman and shared the reason behind why she wants to call this wedding quits. She also backed Rahman by calling him “a gem of a person, the best man in the world.” Saira shared a voice note requesting people not to tarnish the music maestro's name.
Saira, in an official voice note, shared, "This is Saira Rahman here. I'm currently in Bombay. I've been physically unwell for the last couple of months. So that's the reason I just wanted to take a break from AR, but I would request the entire YouTube YouTubers, 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."
