It would be an amicable divorce,” Shah commented, emphasizing the couple’s commitment to handling their separation with dignity.
While the financial aspects of their separation remain undisclosed, Rahman’s substantial net worth and diverse asset portfolio will likely be significant factors in any future discussions. However, both parties have expressed a desire for privacy and an amicable resolution to their separation.
As one of India’s wealthiest musicians, Rahman’s divorce proceedings are being closely watched, though both parties have requested privacy during this sensitive time.
