Bassist Mohini Dey Breaks Silence On Relation With AR Rahman

Mohini Dey took to Instagram on Monday and shared a video of herself slamming media for 'vulgarising' her relationship with AR Rahman. She also claimed that AR Rahman is like 'father' to her in the video, and urged media and netizens to stop spreading the false news. The video was captioned, "It is utterly unbelievable to see the amount of misinformation and baseless assumptions/claims against me & @arrahman. It feels criminal that the media has vulgarised the two events. I honour my times as a kid working with @arrahman throughout my 8.5 years of working with him for his movies, tours, etc. Its disheartening to see that people have no respect, sympathy or empathy towards emotional matters like this. It saddens me to see people's state of mind."

Elaborating her relationship with AR Rahman, she wrote, "@arrahman is a legend and he is just like father to me!
I have many role models & father figures in life that have played vital roles in my career and upbringing. To name a few- My dad who taught me everything music (who I lost a year ago) and then @ranjitbarot1 who introduced me to the industry, @louizbanksofficial who shaped me & @arrahman who gave me the freedom to shine in his shows and his musical arrangements during recording sessions."

She ended the note with a request to stop spreading this misinformation, "I cherish and treasure that and will always do! Media/Paps do not understand the affect it has on people's minds and lives. Be sensitive. I dont owe anyone any explainations but also, I dont want this to brew and interupt my day so, Kindly stop with the false claims & Respect our privacy."
