Pre

It’s all over between Hrithik Roshan and wife Sussanne. They have decided to end their thirteen year old marriage. The couple has two sons: Hrehaan (born in 2006) and Hridhaan (born in 2008).

Businessofcinema.com was the first to report about this split, and then many speculations were going on. Many rumors were doing the rounds as well. But what is the truth? What exactly caused the split?

Hrithik Roshan’s statement read, “Sussanne has decided to separate from me and end our 17 year relationship. This is a very trying time for the entire family and I request the media and the people to grant us our privacy at this time. I do not wish this news to disempower my fans and the people about the institution of marriage in any way. I am a firm believer in this institution and respect and honor it at the highest level. And once again I thank my fans for all the concern and prayers for my health, my treatment is going well and I should be able to resume my life in every way very soon. Thank you.”

Sussanne too issued a statement, saying, “We are two individuals who respect and care for each other and have made our own individual choices. We are parents to two wonderful kids and our responsibility remains to protect and take care of them. Nothing can change that. Would appreciate if we are given our privacy in such a time.”

Here is the complete account of their journey till date:

Hrithik Roshan married Sussanne Khan, daughter of actor Sanjay Khan, on December 20, 2000, after dating her for four years. Their marriage had a lot of hiccups and drama even before it happened.

After Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, Hrithik signed Subhash Ghai’s Yaadein opposite Kareena Kapoor. The rumors of Hrithik and Kareena’s romance spread, and when Sanjay Khan got to know about this, he got Hrithik and Sussanne married.

The first major cracks were visible in 2009, during the shoot of the film Kites, which starred Hrithik Roshan and Barbara Mori in lead roles. Hrithik was very close with Barbara during Kites, which caused friction in his married life. Sussanne walked out of the Roshans’ home and returned to her parents in April 2009. What bothered Sussanne was Hrithik’s closeness and affection with Barbara’s family, especially his fondness for her brother Kintaro.

Hrithik tried his best to help Kintaro in his singing career, he even introduced Kintaro to various Bollywood biggies, and passed on his demo tapes to various music directors. But, things didn’t work out for Kintaro.

Later, Sussanne did return to Hrithik Roshan, but things were never the same post the rift, said sources close to the family.

Around this time, another rumor began doing the rounds. It was about Sussanne’s friendship withArjun Rampal. This has reportedly caused turbulences between Hrithik and Sussanne. Sussanne left the Roshans’ home in September 2013, and has been living in her father’s bungalow, the Sanjay Place in Juhu, Mumbai. This time seemingly for good.

Like any other father, Sanjay Khan tired a cover-up, and said, “Like any other normal couple, they also have some issues. Just because Hrithik is a superstar, doesn’t mean he will not have personal issues. They both are intelligent and wonderful people. It’s just that they need space. Of course, this is not a closure. They respect each other. To resolve issues, maybe this is what they thought was good.”
