AR Rahman hospitalised in Chennai due to dehydration after returning from London
Chennai: Oscar-winning music composer AR Rahman has been admitted to Chennai’s Apollo Hospital after feeling unwell following his return from London, media reports said.
According to his spokesperson, Rahman sought medical attention last night after experiencing discomfort, reported NDTV.
Doctors said his condition was caused by dehydration, which was aggravated by fasting for Ramzan.
Speaking to NDTV, the spokesperson said, "He returned from London yesterday and felt unwell, so he went to the hospital for a check-up last night. However, according to the doctors, it was due to dehydration, as he has also been fasting for Ramzan."
Sources close to the musician have reassured that he is doing fine and recovering well.
Last year, Rahman made headlines when he and his wife, Saira Banu, announced their divorce after 29 years of marriage.
The couple, who have three children—son AR Ameen and daughters Khatija and Raheema—shared the news through their lawyers.
Following the announcement, Rahman took to X (formerly Twitter) to express his emotions, describing the experience as "shattering."
His post read, "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. #arrsairaabreakup"
