Sussanne in support of Hrithik

Actor Hrithik Roshan’s former wife Sussanne Khan has come to his defence amid ongoing family tensions regarding his sister Sunaina Roshan, who she has called a loving and a warm person.

Sussanne wrote a note on Instagram and shared on Wednesday that said: “As a part of my experience with all concerned and in my life span of being a part of this close knit family, I know Sunaina, to be an extremely loving, warm, caring person, who is in an unfortunate situation.

“Sunaina’s father is undergoing a major health crisis. Her mother is herself vulnerable to say the least. Please respect the families’ tough period, each family goes through such times. I needed to say this as someone who has been a part of this family for long.” Sunaina has said that she was “living in a hell”.

Sunaina on Tuesday had tweeted: “And living in hell continues... Gosh I’m tired. I support Kangana all through.” On Wednesday, actress Kangana Ranaut’s sister alleged on Twitter that the Roshans have been “physically assaulting” Sunaina because she is in “love with a Muslim man from Delhi”.

Kangana and Hrithik have had an infamous spat. The actors were involved in a row which began after Kangana hinted at Hrithik being her “ex-boyfriend”. This was followed by an exchange of legal complaints and mud-slinging. — IANS
