NEW DELHI: Post Kites release, the reports of the tumultuous relationship between Hrithik Roshan and his estranged wife Suzanne have been doing rounds. It was just days before their 13th marriage anniversary that Hrithik made it official about their separation, on December 13.
“Suzanne has decided to separate from me and end our 17-year relationship,” said Roshan, in a statement. “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,” continued Roshan. “I am a firm believer in this institution and respect and honor it at the highest level.
According to recent reports, Suzanne is demanding Rs.400 crores as alimony for filing divorce. But sources close to the couple rubbish the claims and say that the news is fabricated. They believe that there is no need of any alimony as Hrithik is a kind of person who would do anything to keep his family safe and happy whereas Suzanne Khan is an independent woman who has the financial capacity to nurture her children on her own.
Now Hrithik has made that official by a tweet on the alimony issue: “Fabricated news articles. Demeaning my loved ones. Testing my patience.”
The separation is on mutual consent, as Hrithik stated earlier. The couple was last seen together for their son’s birthday to provide responsibility to the children. The couple filed for divorce in Bandra High Court and their next hearing will be on October 31, when they will be likely granted divorce.
Currently, Hrithik is busy wrapping up shoot for his next film Bang Bang, directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Fox Star Studios. The film is slated to be released on October 2.
