A.R. Rahman's bassistMohini Dey confirmed her separation from her husband Mark Hartsuch hours after the musician announced the news of his split with wife Saira Banu Saira Banu. Owing to the timing many started speculating link-up

Though it is the first time Mohini had to give justification for her bond with A.R. Rahman it isn't the only time when she has spoken highly about the musician. In a 2018 interview with Scroll.in she spoke about the first time she worked with A.R

In her conversation she recalled recording frequently at Nirvana studio in Mumbai and during one such recording she got to know she was going to do a song for A.R. Rahman. Since she didn't know much about Bollywood, she had only little knowledge about Rahman.

Upon returning home she told her father about recording the song for Rahman and he felt immense pride. That is when Mohini googled the musician and realized the blessing bestowed on her. The next day Rahman asked her if she would be a part of his band forCoke Studio and Dey agreed instantly.

Reminiscing the first time she saw Rahman the artist said they both just smiled at each other. However she remembered hearing A.R. Rahman praising her in front of other guitarists later the musical maestro also told her how he wanted another singer and bassist for his band but after seeing Mohini

He told me he was trying to get Tal Wilkenfeld [an Australian singer and bassist] for his band but after he heard me perform he had to choose me,” Mohini said.

From there started Mohini Dey’s journey with A.R. Rahman. She was a part of his band for almost a decade now. She contributed to his film work and went on national and international tours with him.
