Renowned Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman and his wife Saira Banu have decided to end their nearly three-decade-long marriage, a development that has stirred considerable attention among their fans worldwide. As the news broke, discussions surged, not just about their separation but about the broader pattern of marital breakdowns in the Indian film industry.
Amid these discussions, a video featuring Vandana Shah, a prominent lawyer known for handling high-profile divorce cases in India, gained traction online. In the video, she delves into the common causes behind the crumbling of marriages in Bollywood. She explains that the lifestyles of those in the film industry are markedly distinct, pointing out that the ennui stemming from familiarity is a significant factor. “They move on from one marriage to another because of boredom, and that is very peculiar to Bollywood and super-rich families,” Shah stated during her appearance on The Chill Hour podcast.
Shah further discusses the unique aspects of marital expectations within the industry. According to her observations, another divergence arises in terms of sexual expectations and experiences, which are often elevated compared to those outside the limelight. Moreover, issues such as minimal impact from infidelity and undue influence from extended family members also play crucial roles in these separations.
Shifting focus to Rahman and Banu’s separation, Shah shared with ETimes that their long marriage had its share of trials. She commended the couple for handling their separation with dignity. “Both Rahman and Saira will continue to support each other and wish each other well,” she reassured. According to Shah, the decision to part ways was serious and considered, emphasizing the authenticity of their relationship. “This is not what you would call a sham marriage,” she affirmed.
The viral spread of Shah’s video underscores a keen public interest in the personal lives of celebrities, notably how their experiences reflect or diverge from societal norms. While the specific reasons behind Rahman and Banu’s decision are private, the general insights provided by Shah offer a window into the complex interplay of personal and external factors that influence marital longevity in high-profile lives.
This discussion not only sheds light on the pressures faced by celebrities but also sparks broader conversations about the nature of marriage, expectation, and personal fulfillment in modern society.
