In a statement issued by Hrithik himself, he said "Sussanne has decided to separate from me and end our 17 yr 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 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 honor 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." Earlier, there were reports that the couple's marriage was going through a rough phase when Sussanne had moved out of the Roshan residence and was staying with her parents.
