Mohini Dey on rumours linking her separation to AR Rahman

Shortly after AR Rahman and Saira announced their separation, bassist Mohini Dey revealed that she had parted ways with her husband Mark Hurtsuch. In a new social media post, Mohini has now addressed the speculation linking the two announcements. Responding to trolls, she urged everyone to respect her privacy and shared that she had declined interview requests, stating she didn’t want to waste her energy on baseless rumours.
“I’ve been getting a humungous amount of requests for interviews and I know exactly what it’s about so, I have to respectfully turn each one down because I am not interested in fuelling into ABSOLUTE BS. I believe my energy is not worth spending on RUMOURS. Kindly, respect my privacy (sic),” Mohini’s caption read.
Take a look at her post here:
Earlier in the day, AR Rahman’s son, Ameen, strongly condemned the “baseless” rumours connecting his parents’ separation to the bassist Mohini Dey.
Ameen set the record straight with a post on his Instagram that read, “My father is a legend, not just for his incredible contributions, but for the values, respect, and love he has earned over the years. It’s disheartening to see false and baseless rumors being spread. Let us all remember the importance of truth and respect when speaking about someone’s life and legacy. Please refrain from engaging in or spreading such misinformation. Let’s honor and preserve his dignity and the incredible impact he has had on all of us. #EPI (sic).”
On November 19, Saira Banu, through her lawyer, released a statement about the couple’s decision to end their marriage.
The statement read, “After many years of marriage, Mrs Saira has made the difficult decision to separate from her husband Mr AR Rahman. This decision comes after significant emotional strain in their relationship. 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. Mrs Saira emphasised that she has taken this decision out of pain and agony. Mrs Saira requests privacy and understanding from the public during this challenging time, as she navigates this difficult chapter in her life.”
AR Rahman and Saira Banu got married in Chennai in 1995.
