Shocking: Amid AR Rahman's divorce news; his bassist Mohini Dey too announce separation from her husband

The entire film fraternity was shocked when AR Rahman ’s wife Saira announced that the couple was taking divorce and ending their marriage of more than 25 years. With fans still trying to come to terms with this shock, posts from Rahman and reactions from his kids have also made many die-hard Rahman fans emotional.

However, what has now caught the attention of web users is that amid all this Rahman-Saira divorce news, the bassist of the famous music composer Mohini Dey has also announced separation from her husband Mark on her official social media page. As is known, Mohini Dey is not only a bassist working for Rahman. Rather she is a world-renowned artist with admirers across the world. Mohini has played with some big names including Willow Smith, and Steve Vai.

“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…

While divorces are nothing new, this announcement, which comes close on the heels of Saira’s announcement of divorce through her lawyers, has triggered a riot of speculation on the internet, with many users calling the two actions linked. Although it does seem quite a coincidence that two people working together have announced separation around the same time with just a gap of a day, there are no reasons to link the two.

Of course, web users are speculating that Rahman might have cheated on his wife with Mohini Dey. Fans who know Mohini have called such speculations trash, saying that she is much more than just Rahman's bassist and that the two divorces have nothing to do with each other. Moreover, Mohini was a 10-year-old prodigy when Rahman took her under his wings, and he is like a father figure to her.

Surprisingly, in her post, Saira mentioned that significant emotional strain has caused her to take this decision. It indicates that Saira has gone through a lot of pain which forced her to take this decision.
