Oscar-winning composer AR Rahman recently celebrated a proud moment on Instagram, marking a significant milestone in his daughter Raheema’s life. The music maestro’s daughter has graduated from the prestigious Glion Institute of Higher Education in Montreux, Switzerland, where she studied Hospitality, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation.
Currently on his Wonderment Tour in North America, AR Rahman took some time off to celebrate a personal milestone. Sharing photos from Raheema’s graduation ceremony, he proudly wrote, “My little princess, Raheema, has graduated from the Glion Institute of Higher Education, specializing in Hospitality, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation. #prouddad #womenleaders #alhamdulillah
(sic).”
The pictures feature Raheema in her graduation gown and cap, a group photo collage, and a close-up of her certificate, which proudly notes her role as a “Student Ambassador.” The heartfelt post soon attracted congratulatory messages from fans and peers across social media.
Rahman shares Raheema with his wife, Saira Banu, whom he married in 1995. The couple also has two other children, Khatija and Ameen. In 2019, Raheema and Khatija joined their father on stage at the U2 concert in Mumbai, reflecting the family’s deep-rooted love for music.
While Rahman and Saira Banu announced their separation in November 2024 after nearly three decades of marriage, they have remained involved in their children’s lives.
