Sussanne Khan releases a statement on the story that has ruffled few feathers

Mumbai: There have been numerous speculations and rumours around Sussanne Khan’s divorce from husband Hrithik Roshan. Reports suggested that the reason for the split was Sussanne’s close friendship with Arjun Rampal, however the actor denied all rumours and maintained that he and Sussanne were nothing more than friends.

According to a report in Bombay Times today, Arjun’s wife Mehr found out about an overseas trip made by Sussanne and Arjun, where the duo spent some quality time together. And for this reason Mehr-Sussanne’s friendship had taken a severe beating.

However putting and end to the bogus rumours and slamming the newspaper for its sensational news, Sussanne Khan, also an entrepreneurreleased a statement that said:

“It is with great disappointment I have read Meena Iyer’s article today, titled, “Is Arjun to blame for the Mehr-Sussanne friendship taking a severe beating. This piece is an example of speculation and rumor mongering. Not the slightest effort was made to reach me to ask for my inputs into an article that deals with my life. Arjun and Mehr are friends and have been for years. To poison a relationship such as this is malicious behavior. I have, with Mehr, earlier stated in the same paper that there is no truth to the claim that Arjun and I are anything more than friends. I have begun a new phase in my life with hopes and expectations. As I work to establish and grow my work I am fully concentrated on my career. Today, my time and energy is completely consumed by my children and my work. My family, who have been beyond supportive, are now the foundation of my life. I never was and am not an idle Bollywood wife who has all the time in the world to spread canards and lies that damage relationships and lives. My heart goes out to Arjun and Mehr who are needlessly being drawn into this. I appeal to all responsible members of the press to look at this in a fair manner. I have emerged stronger and focused and I pray that better judgment prevails in all those who wish to create a scandal where there is none. (sic)”

Even ex-husband Hrithik Roshan took to Twitter to show his support and slam the reports. He posted, “If u people knew hw much false news is printed, d papers wud actually stop selling. I am disgusted 2day..But powerful good people know how 2walk their truth no matter what…(sic).”
