The 39-year-old actor took to his facebook page today to inform his more than seven million fans that their separation is his tribute to their childhood love.
"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," Hrithik wrote soon after going public with the separation news last night.
There were reports that the couple's marriage was going through a rough phase when the 35-year-old interior designer had moved out of the Roshan residence and was staying with her parents Sanjay Khan and Zarine.
In his statement, the 'Krrish 3' star had ended the months of speculation about the marriage trouble and said, "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."
Hrithik and Sussanne, who were childhood sweethearts, tied the knot in 2000 after a four-year relationship. They have two sons – Hrehaan, 7, and Hridhaan, 5.
In a statement, Sussanne, 35, said that the priority for them was to take care of their two sons.
