After the Grammy and Oscar-winning music composer A. R. Rahman, and his wife Saira Banu declare their separation, now, bassist Mohini Dey, who works with Rahman, has also confirmed her separation from her husband Mark Hartsuch.
Mohini and Mark made the announcement in a joint post on Instagram. They wrote, "Dear friends, family, fans, and followers, With a heavy heart, Mark and I announce that we have separated.
The first is our commitment to our friends and family-a mutual understanding between us. While we're great friends, we both decided we wanted different things in life and separation through mutual agreement was the best way to go on."
They further mentioned, "We will still be working on several projects together including MaMoGi and Mohini Dey groups.". We have always been proud of the good working relationship we have maintained, and that's not going to change anytime soon ????. The big thing we want to wish is love to everyone out there in the world. We appreciate your support in all the ways you have given it to us. Please honor the decision we have made by being positive towards us at this time and respecting our privacy. We would appreciate no judgements."
Mohini and Rahman have featured together in more than 80 shows.
On Tuesday, Saira made a statement of divorce through her lawyer. She has cited emotional strain as the cause behind the divorce. The strain has created an insurmountable gap between the couple.
Saira's lawyer Vandana Shah has released an official statement with regards to the couple's decision to separate.
After many years of marriage, Mrs Saira has taken the unfortunate decision to separate from her husband AR Rahman. This has been after much emotional strain in their relationship. Deep love between the two still exists, but tensions and troubles have built such an insurmountable gap between the two that neither the husband nor the wife feels that they are able to bridge it at this point.
