Last week Hrithik Roshan released a statement revealing that he and his wife Sussanne Khan were separating after 12 years of marriage and 17 year relationship.

The actor recently said that though he was splitting from his wife, Sussanne Khan, will always remain ‘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," Hrithik posted on his Facebook page.

"If her smiles are brighter without me, my love for her must accomplish that. Unconditional," he added.

Rumors about couple’s marriage being on rocks have been going around for 6 months now. The couple hadn't made a public appearance together for almost 3 months. Three months ago it was reported that Sussanne Khan moved out of the Roshan's Mumbai house almost 3 months back after a spat which reportedly turned quite ugly. But the couple had denied the reports.

But recently Hrithik Roshan released a statement confirming his split from his wife.

“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," the statement read.

Sussanne, an interior designer and daughter of veteran actor Sanjay Khan, has called the split a matter of "individual choices".

Hrithik Roshan married Sussanne, the daughter of Bollywood actor Sanjay Khan, on December 20, 2000. The couple has two sons, seven-year-old Hrehaan and five-year-old Hridhaan.
