Raheema's achievement comes amidst personal challenges for Rahman, who recently announced his separation from wife Saira Banu.

Music legend A R Rahman is a proud father and expressed his happiness as his younger daughter Raheema graduated with a professional degree from a college in Switzerland. Rahman shared photos from the graduation ceremony on his social media, addressing his daughter as his little princess.

"My little princess, Raheema, has graduated from the Glion Institute of Higher Education with a focus on Hospitality, Entrepreneurship, and Innovation," wrote the proud dad. Raheema has completed her masters in hospitality and entrepreneurship, seemingly charting a separate course from her father and older sister Khadeeja Rahman who is a music composer and singer. She also has a brother A R Ameen.

A few months ago, the musician had announced his separation to wife of 29 years Saira Banu, citing emotional strain in their relationship. Saira had also stated that her health concerns had resulted in their separation too though the two are yet to be divorced. Rahman had composed music for the Kamal Haasan and Mani Ratnam movie 'Thug Life'.
