AR Rahman threatens legal action
Amidst his separation with Saira Banu, AR Rahman has taken a strong stand against those who are spreading false rumours about his divorce. The music composer took to his social media page today and stated that anyone who tries to come up with fake narratives on any social media platform will be slapped with a defamation case. The composer also mentioned that any theories and interview discussions that have happened so far about his personal life by random people online are untrue.
One of the paragraphs from his notice reads, "My client few days back informed through his X (twitter) about the dissolution of the marriage. "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... A.R.Rahman (@arrahman) November 19, 2024."
Further in this entertainment news, another excerpt mentions, "While it is so that it is noticed some of the social media platforms and several you-tubers have started a series of calumny and defamatory write-ups about the same with their own concocted and fertile imaginary stories on their private life. There were also interviews by some busy bodies about their own perspective on the failure of their marriage life. It is unnecessary to reproduce each one of the statements that was spread across the social-media platform which is intended to spread knowledge and awareness."
About taking a strong legal action against such gossipmongers, the post says, "My client informs the hatemongers and sharers of abusive contents to remove the objectionable content within the next one hour and a maximum time duration of 24 hours, he will be advised to file appropriate criminal defamation case under Section 356 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and in such an event the offenders are liable to be punished with an imprisonment of two years, with or without fine as the court may determine under Section 356 (2) of the said Act."
