A R Rahman wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “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 children have taken Instagram to request fans and other observers to respect their privacy and respect their decision.
