AR Rahman, Saira Banu divorce: Lawyer reacts to music composer using hashtag in separation post, 'Feels like an afterthought...'

AR Rahman and Saira Banu's divorce has shocked both the industry and their fans. The couple has been married for 29 years. Earlier this week, the duo confirmed that they're officially getting separated. At first, there were only reports about their divorce. The next day, the music composer took to his social media pages to confirm the same. Rahman confirmed the divorce but what caught everyone's attention was the hashtag.

AR Rahman's divorce post

In his social media post, AR Rahman wrote, ""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 hashtag caught many people's attention and they wondered why the Swades music composer used a hashtag to make such a heartbreaking announcement. Now, their divorce lawyer Vandana Shah has reacted to the same. In an interaction with Bollywood Bubble, Shah said that there's a reason why a hashtag is called a hashtag. When one looks at the larger scheme of things in grammar, there's a comma, full stop, and even a semicolon. Shah believes it feels like an afterthought these days. The lawyer also pointed out how people rarely use semicolon nowadays.

"Similarly, a hashtag is what it is a hashtag and it holds no real significance. I believe it should be treated with the same kind of disregard. As if to say you're just a hashtag, set aside. Over the last couple of days, this sentiment has only been reinforced for me," said the lawyer.

Further in this entertainment news, Vandana Shah also said that AR Rahman and Saira Banu are handling the divorce with a lot of dignity. They are private and composed individuals and are addressing the situation in the best possible manner. "I appreciate the fact that even the press has been respectful. No one has aggressively pushed for answers, and I think that's commendable," Shah said.
