Mohini Dey, star guitarist in AR Rahman's band, also announces separation

Mumbai: Renowned guitarist Mohini Dey, a member of AR Rahman’s band, has revealed that she has separated from her husband, music director Mark Harsuch. The 28-year-old musician made the announcement through her Instagram story, sharing the news jointly with her husband.

Mohini, a Kolkata native currently based in Mumbai, has been a prominent part of Rahman’s musical troupe, performing in over forty shows worldwide.

The news of Mohini Dey’s divorce comes just hours after the news of Rahman’s separation from his wife, Saira. The divorce of Rahman was first reported by Saira’s lawyer, and later confirmed by Rahman himself.

Mohini’s note shared on Instagram

“Dear friends, family, fans, and followers, With a heavy heart, Mark and I announce that we have separated.

First, as a commitment to our friends and family, this is a mutual understanding between us. While we remain great friends, we both have decided that we want different things in life and separation through mutual agreement was the best way to proceed.

We will still be working on several projects together including MaMoGi and Mohini Dey groups. We have always prided ourselves on working well together and that will not be stopping any time soon.

The big thing we want to wish is love to everyone out there in the world. We appreciate your support in all of the ways you have given it to us. Please honour the decision we have made by being positive towards us at this time and respecting our privacy. We would appreciate no judgements.”
