Saira Rahman, the estranged wife of renowned composer AR Rahman, has sent her wishes for a swift recovery after he was hospitalized due to dehydration. She emphasized that while they are separated, they are not officially divorced, and she asked the media to refrain from labeling her as his ex-wife.

In a show of unwavering support during this challenging time, Saira also mentioned her own recovery from surgery. Recently, she faced a medical emergency herself but remains committed to standing by her former partner. Through a statement from her lawyers, Vandana Shah and Associates, she expressed, “AR is in my prayers, and I wish him the best of health. As I recover from my surgery, I hope for his speedy recovery, and I deeply appreciate the love and prayers from his fans and well-wishers.” The message was signed by Saira Rahman.

Accompanying her written statement was an audio message in which she shared, “Hi everyone, this is Saira Rahman here. I wish him a speedy recovery, and I received news that he experienced chest pain and underwent an angiogram.”

By the grace of God, she continued in her message, “he is recovering well now.” Saira stressed, “I want to clarify that we are not officially divorced; we are still husband and wife, just separated because I haven’t been well for the past two years and didn’t wish to burden him with stress.”

She made a heartfelt request to the media, saying, “Please do not refer to me as his ex-wife… We are currently separated, but my prayers for him remain constant.” Furthermore, she urged his family not to add to his stress and to take good care of him.

On November 19, 2024, after nearly three decades of marriage, Saira Banu and AR Rahman announced their separation, citing “significant emotional strain” as the reason behind their decision. The couple, who wed in 1995, are the parents of three children: Khatija, Raheema, and Ameen.

According to a statement from the Apollo Hospital in Chennai, where Rahman was treated for dehydration symptoms, he has since been discharged following a routine check-up. Dr. RK Venkatasalam, the Director of Medical Services, confirmed this update in a bulletin.

Hollywood actors Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas have once again sparked romance rumors after being seen together in London. The duo was spotted arriving at the London Heliport on the evening of March 14, marking their second public outing in recent weeks.

According to reports, the two actors appeared relaxed and comfortable in casual attire, engaging in lively conversations and laughter with the heliport staff. Their recent joint appearances have intensified speculation about a possible romantic relationship.

Tom and Ana’s growing closeness

The romance rumors initially began circulating over Valentine’s Day weekend last month when Tom and Ana were first photographed together. The duo was seen walking through London’s Soho neighborhood, with Ana carrying takeout food. They also stopped to interact with fans and pose for photographs, further fueling dating speculations.

Neither Tom, who has been filming a movie in England directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu, nor Ana have addressed these rumors. In a recent encounter with Spanish media in Madrid, Ana declined to comment when asked whether her outing with Tom was personal or work-related.

Past relationships and media interest

Ana de Armas has been linked to Tinder executive Paul Boukadakis in 2023 and previously dated actor Ben Affleck from 2020 to 2021. Tom Cruise, on the other hand, has maintained a relatively private personal life in recent years.

As of now, representatives for both actors have not responded to requests for comments on their relationship status. However, their recent outings together continue to keep fans and media buzzing with speculation.

Tollywood’s latest courtroom drama, Court: State vs A Nobody, featuring Priyadarshi, has garnered enthusiastic responses from audiences and critics alike. Marking the directorial debut of Ram Jagadeesh, the film includes a talented cast with Harsh Roshan and Sridevi Apalla in prominent roles.

The movie is achieving remarkable success at the box office, having grossed an impressive Rs. 15.90 crore by the end of its second day, inclusive of earnings from early screenings. This milestone is particularly notable for a film with a modest budget that has successfully resonated with viewers.

Court is expected to maintain its momentum, with the weekend figures promising further growth. Presented by Nani, the film also stars notable actors like Sivaji, Sai Kumar, and Surabhi. Produced by Prashanti Tipirneni, the film’s score is composed by Vijay Bulganin.

The film’s journey at the box office has been astounding considering its initial projections. According to Sacnilk, Court’s earnings reached Rs. 14.9 crore by the end of day two, showcasing its strength in the market.

With total earnings nearing Rs. 20 crore over the weekend, Court is well-positioned to surpass its break-even point, making it a success for the producers and distributors.

Produced with an overall budget of Rs. 10 crore, including promotional efforts, Court has recouped its investment through pre-release business. Released in around 650 screens globally, it may be classified as a smaller release, but its audience attraction highlights an appetite for content-driven cinema alongside larger blockbusters.

In comparison to other 2025 Telugu openings, Court performed well within its category. While the big-budget films achieved higher numbers, Court has significantly outperformed expectations within its niche.

To deem Court a hit, it needs to gross Rs. 20 crore and attain a distributor share of Rs. 10 crore. Current trends suggest it is on a successful trajectory, proving that compelling storytelling and strong performances can lead to triumph at the box office, even on a reduced budget.
