Hrithik Roshan Announces Divorce From Wife Sussanne

They are Bollywood’s golden couple or should we say they 'were'. Who would have thought that the blissfully married Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne would get a divorce? Married in 2000, Hrithik and Sussanne have one of the most stunning love stories Bollywood has ever seen.

The dazzling couple met in the filmiest way possible. Hrithik set his eyes on the beautiful Sussanne at a traffic signal and it was love at first sight for him. He asked her out on Valentine’s Day and they have been a couple ever since. Hrithik even went down on one knee at Mumbai’s Juhu beach to propose to Sussanne. All of this happened before Hrithik was a superstar and the nation’s heartthrob. Sigh! On a chat show, Hrithik even admitted that he had seen Sussanne play in their building compound and was infatuated with her ever since he was 12 years old.

But alas, all of this has come to an end! Though the reason is not clear, we hear that supposedly Sussanne was bored of her husband of 13 years who was too busy working and obsessing over his good looks. Some say that Sussanne’s growing closeness to actor Arjun Rampal was the final nail in the coffin. Another reason cited by the rumour mills is the growing friction between Sussanne and Pinky Roshan (Hrithik’s mother). Sussanne wanted to move out of the house they shared with the in-laws, whereas Hrithik was not sure about that.

Both Hrithik and Sussanne have released statements to the media saying that the decision is mutual. Hrithik who is out of the country now also updated his status on Facebook saying that Sussanne is and always will be the love of his life.

"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," revealed the Bollywood star.

"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 honour it at the highest level," he added.

He updated on his Facebook as "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. "

We are keeping our fingers crossed and hoping against hope that the couple reunites.
