AR Rahman and Saira Banu got married in 1995 in an arranged marriage. Rahman had previously mentioned in an interview that his mother found Saira for him because he was too busy with work to look for a bride himself. He wanted a “simple” and supportive partner who could inspire him and allow him to focus on his music.

The couple has three children: Khatija, Raheema, and Ameen.

On the work front, AR Rahman continues to stay busy. His most recent project was Raayan, a film directed by Dhanush. He is also working on several upcoming films, including Chhaava, Thug Life, and Gandhi Talks.
