AR Rahman Threatens Legal Action Against Slanderers

Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman has issued a warning of legal action against those spreading false accusations, stating that there is no truth to the allegations.

According to Indian media reports, AR Rahman and Saira Banu announced their divorce a few days ago after 29 years of marriage.

In their announcement on social media, they referred to their emotional stress and appealed for privacy in their personal lives.

Following this, numerous defamatory rumors surfaced online, prompting AR Rahman to decide on legal action against those responsible for spreading them.

His legal team has demanded the removal of defamatory content based on fabricated stories and has issued notices regarding the matter.

AR Rahman’s lawyer threatened to file a defamation lawsuit if the defamatory material remains online.

The lawyer added that, according to his client, some programs and interviews lacked truthfulness, causing harm to the composer’s reputation and his family.

The legal team has given a 24-hour deadline for removing hateful and objectionable content, warning that failure to comply will result in legal proceedings.

On social media, AR Rahman shared a letter, expressing disappointment over fabricated stories about his private life shared by some media platforms and YouTubers under the guise of raising awareness following the news of his marriage ending.
