AR Rahman issued his first statement about his divorce from his wife, Saira Banu. In doing so, he did something strange. He used a hashtag (#arrsairaabreakup) at the end of his message. “We had hoped to reach the grand thirty, but all things, it seems, carry an unseen end. Even the throne of God might tremble at the weight of broken hearts. Yet, in this shattering, we seek meaning, though the pieces may not find their place again. To our friends, thank you for your kindness and for respecting our privacy as we walk through this fragile chapter," the music legend wrote.
Netizens are wondering why ARR used a hashtag for a poignant tweet that is so personal and is supposed to look genuine. "Who uses a hashtag for such an announcement? Is ARR out of his mind?" a netizen wondered. Another social media user wrote, "Never ever outsource handling your SM accounts to agencies. Look at the pathetic hashtag. As if tweeting this detail itself wasn't bad enough, a hashtag is yuck."
A netizen requested that Rahman's PR team delete the hashtag. "If you are seeing this tweet, you might not know this but there is an edit feature for verified users. Just go ahead and erase the hashtag. Thanks," the user wrote.
