AR Rahman Admitted To Hospital After Complaining Of Chest Pain

Oscar-winning music composer AR Rahman was admitted to the hospital last night after complaining of chest pain. He experienced sudden pain in his chest and was admitted to the emergency ward of the Apollo Hospital in Chennai. As per reports, the music maestro is being closely monitored by a team of doctors who are performing several tests on him including ECG and ECHO.

Neither his family members nor his manager have issued an official statement. More details are awaited.

Last month, AR Rahman's ex-wife Saira Banu was admitted to the hospital due to a medical emergency. She reportedly underwent surgery. Later, she shared a statement and thanked the music maestro for his support. The statement read, "A few days ago Mrs.Saira Rahman was hospitalised due to a medical emergency and underwent surgery. During this challenging time, her sole focus is on a speedy recovery. She deeply appreciates the concern and support from those around her and requests prayers for her well-being from her numerous well-wishers and supporters. Mrs.Saira Rahman would also like to express her heartfelt gratitude to her friends from Los Angeles, Resul Pookutty and his wife Shadia, as well as Vandana Shah and Mr. Rahman, for their unwavering support during this difficult time. She is truly grateful for their kindness and encouragement. God bless."

In a career spanning over three decades, the maestro contributed to not just India but the global music landscape.  He started by composing scores for documentaries and jingles for advertisements. He was then approached by filmmaker Mani Ratnam for his film Roja. There was no looking back for the maestro after that. He married Saira Banu in 1995 and has three children with her. Although the couple announced their separation last year, AR Rahman remains close to her and their kids.
