Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan, who were once considered the ideal couple in Bollywood, shocked everyone when they decided to part ways in 2014. After 14 years of marriage and two children, the couple moved on with their lives. While Hrithik is now in a relationship with actress Saba Azad, Sussanne has been dating Arslan Goni for quite some time. Recently, Sussanne’s brother, Zayed Khan, spoke for the first time about his sister’s divorce from Hrithik and shared his thoughts on their relationship.
“Our Family is Supportive of Her Decision”
Zayed Khan revealed that their family has always supported Sussanne’s decision. He shared that after the separation, Sussanne had two choices: either live with anger or move forward with happiness. She chose to live happily and has been strong throughout the journey. “She’s a very strong-hearted person,” said Zayed.
“Hrithik is a Wonderful Person”
Talking about his bond with Hrithik Roshan, Zayed Khan expressed nothing but admiration. “Hrithik is a gem of a person. He has a heart of gold,” he said. He further added that both Hrithik and Sussanne have moved on, with each dating someone else now. Despite the separation, Zayed maintains a close bond with Hrithik and respects him deeply. “I am also very close to my brother Hrithik. He is a wonderful person, and life goes on,” said Zayed, showing that the family has remained close-knit even after the split.
“Marriage is Tough to Sustain in Mumbai”
In his interview, Zayed also touched upon the challenges of marriage in a city like Mumbai. He mentioned that Mumbai is a tough place where it’s difficult for marriages to last. He explained that the city has a lot of distractions and pressures, which can make it challenging for relationships to survive. “We don’t live in a quiet place like Dalhousie. It’s a city full of distractions, and marriages are hard to sustain,” Zayed added, emphasizing the pressures couples face in the fast-paced city life.
“We Have an Open-Minded Family”
Zayed praised his family’s open-minded approach towards life and relationships. He explained that their family does not take sides or criticize anyone. Instead, they provide emotional support to both Hrithik and Sussanne. “We have a modern family where we respect each other’s decisions. If two people don’t want to live together, but they share responsibilities like children and family, it’s important to support them,” he said.
“Having a Thick Skin is Necessary”
When asked about the trolling Sussanne faced after her divorce, Zayed emphasized the importance of having a thick skin. He said, “You need to be tough to handle such things. What matters is how your family stands by you during tough times.” Zayed further shared that their family is solid as a rock, always standing together, no matter what happens.
Childhood Friendship Turned into Marriage
Hrithik and Sussanne’s relationship began long before they became Bollywood stars. They were childhood friends, and their friendship eventually blossomed into love. They got married in 2000, and after 14 years together, they decided to separate. Despite their divorce, both Hrithik and Sussanne have always maintained a cordial relationship for the sake of their two sons, and their bond remains strong even today.
This glimpse into Zayed Khan’s perspective showcases how strong family support and open-mindedness can help navigate through difficult times like separation.
