Amid his hospitalisation, his wife Saira Rahman send her good wishes to him. In an audio message provided by Rahman’s wife Saira Banu, she told mid-day, “Asalam Alaikum, this is Saira Rahman here, I wish him a speedy recovery. I just got the news that he got chest pain and an angio was performed on him. With the blessings of the Almighty, he is doing fine now, and there’s nothing to be worried about.
While Saira and Rahman had announced their separation last year, the former also cleared that they are still husband and wife, legally. “I also wanted to tell everyone that we are not officially divorced, we are still husband and wife. It’s just that we are separated because of my health issues. Since the last two years, I havent been doing well and I didn’t want to stress him out. But please, I would request the media to not call me ‘ex-wife’ as we are only separated but all my good wishes are still with me. I also want to tell everyone, especially his family that do not give him any kind of stress and to take care of him,” she said.
