AR Rahman and Saira Banu aren't officially divorced.

Since the time AR Rahman and Saira Banu announced that they have filed for divorce, people have been curious about the further proceedings in the matter. And now, the couple’s divorce lawyer Vandana Shah has opened up about a possibility of reconciliation and custody of their three kids.

In a conversation with Vicky Lalwani on his YouTube channel, Vandana opened up about the divorce of the duo, which left fans stunned worldwide. In the interview, when asked about the custody of Rahman and Saira’s children, she replied, “That’s not decided yet… It is yet to be decided… But some of them are adults, they are free to choose who they stay with.”

She was also questioned if a huge alimony would be paid in the case, to which Vandana said she doesn’t want to comment on the same but defended Saira Banu, claiming she is not a money-minded woman.

Interestingly, Vandana Shah doesn’t rule out reconciliation between AR Rahman and Saira Banu. She said, “I have not said that reconciliation is not possible. I am an eternal optimist, and I always talk about love and romance. The joint statement is quite clear. It talks about pain and separation. It’s a long marriage and a lot of thought has gone into coming to this decision, but nowhere have I said that reconciliation is not possible.”

Earlier this month, AR Rahman and Saira Banu announced their separation after 29 years of marriage. They reasoned it with ‘significant emotional strain in their relationship.’ The couple tied the knot in 1995 and have three children together – Khatija, Raheema, and Ameen.
