In an unfortunate turn of events, Bollywood couple Hrithik Roshan and wife Sussanne have decided to split and go their separate ways.

“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,” said Hrtihik in a statement. 

The news has come just a few days before their 13th marriage anniversary. The duo tied the knot Dec 20, 2000 post the success of Hrithik's debut film Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai. They have two sons - Hrehaan and Hridhaan.

“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 said.

Last month Hrithik headed to an undisclosed location abroad for his medical treatment and in July this year, he had undergone a brain surgery for removal of a clot in Mumbai

“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,” he finished off.

Hrithik and Sussanne have apparently been having problems since Hrithik's 2010 film Kites. The actor was allegedly having a roaring affair with Spanish actress Barbara Mori. Earlier on too, there had been whispers of Hrithik's hush hush romance with Kareena Kapoor, but those died a quick death after the duo decided to stop working together.
