AR Rahman-Saira Banu Divorce: Famous musician AR Rahman and Saira Banu have ended their 29-year marriage in a moment. AR Rahman's fans still cannot believe that he is getting divorced from his wife Saira Banu. The two were married in the year 1995. The couple's lawyer Vandana Shah issued a joint statement announcing the separation of AR Rahman and Saira Banu. At present, many types of rumors are flying on the Internet, many of which claim that AR Rahman converted to Islam to marry Saira Banu . Let's know what is the whole truth.

AR Rahman was born as AS Dilip Kumar. AR Rahman did not convert to Islam to marry Saira Bano. The reason behind his conversion to Islam was AR Rahman's father, who was battling a disease like cancer at that time. His father was treated by a Sufi doctor. There is no truth in the fact that AR Rahman Khan converted to Islam to marry Saira Bano. AR Rahman converted to Islam much before marriage, that is, at the age of 23.

In the year 2000, while talking to Karan Thapar for BBC, AR Rahman had denied such reports. He had said that a Sufi had treated him in his last days. AR Rahman met that Sufi after 7-8 years and then he adopted Islam. AR Rahman had personal reasons behind changing his religion. AR Rahman had also revealed that a Hindu astrologer had suggested two names to him including Abdul Rahman and Abdul Rahim. He said, 'I liked Rahman. It was the Hindu astrologer who gave me my Muslim name.'
