My wife Saira Banu dresses me up, she is stubborn, all the swag comes from her, says AR Rahman

Oscar-winning music maestro A.R. Rahman and his media-shy wife Saira Banu make for a stylish couple at various events. However, Rahman credits his fashion choices to his wife, revealing that he wears whatever she tells him to wear.

In an earlier interview with Lilly Singh, Rahman shared, “My wife actually takes it (styling) seriously. You know, she dresses me up. For the past 10 to 15 years, she’s been buying stuff, and she thinks it’ll be cool. I think she loves doing that stuff. So it’s all her thing. When she gets stuff and tells me to wear it, I wear it. So all the swag comes from



her. 

When Singh asked, “Has she ever told you to wear something, and you’re like, ‘No, I’m not wearing that?” Rahman said, “No, no, I think she’s a bit traditional. In fact, she often chooses black, and I asked her if I could have another color for a change, and she agreed. She’s very stubborn and very particular about things.”

Talking about his fashion choices, Rahman said, “After a while, you stop caring. You just do it and say, ‘Oh yeah, I’m gonna do this stuff.’ Everybody laughed, but in the end, I think it turned out well. I feel like I come from the purer side, the more boring side.”
