Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan on Friday announced that he is separating from his wife Sussanne Roshan. The relationship that lasted for around 17 years has been in news for quite long for getting sour over personal differences.
According to the statement, his wife Sussanne had decided to end the relationship.
Hrithik Roshan’s full statement: “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 demoralise my fans and the people about the institution of marriage in any way. I am a firm believer in this institution and respect and honour 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.”
After Hrithik Roshan’s shocking announcement about the split, wife Sussanne Roshan too has released a statement confirming the same. Her statement says: “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.”
However, just as Sussanne validated the couple’s separation, the Bollywood heartthrob, posted a heart wrenching message on Facebook calling the interior decorator the “love of his life.”
“This is my greatest tribute to love. Sussanne is and always will be the love of my life for the rest of my life. If her smiles are brighter without me my love for her must accomplish that. Unconditional,” read the 38-year-old’s emotional post.
Hrithik and Sussanne announced their separation days before their 13th marriage anniversary, which is on December 20. The couple has two sons Hrehaan, 7 and Hridhaan, 5.
