One of the most talked-about celebrity separations in Bollywood was that of Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan, who ended their 14-year-long marriage. Over the years, however, the former couple has redefined their relationship, continuing to support each other and co-parent their children with mutual respect.

Now, Zayed Khan has opened up about their separation, offering a deeply personal perspective on what led to the decision and how the family dealt with it.

Reflecting on the situation, he shared, “It wasn’t meant to be. And it would be even worse if you try to hold on to something that isn’t, both people suffer. For what? I mean, you have your children to look forward to, to participate in their lives, to witness the moments of them growing up, turning into such young, wonderful gentlemen. So that became the focus.”

He further spoke about how the families approached the separation with maturity, allowing both individuals to move forward in life without bitterness. “It’s done, it’s finished. Now let’s focus on this, and go find your version of happiness for yourself. We are not the typical, sort of society-pressure-driven family. We are a little more aware, a little more educated about certain things. And I know, by and large, people find it very bizarre. Some people are young, some people themselves are unhappy, some people just don’t understand it, and that’s okay. It’s fine.”

Despite going their separate ways, Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan have often been seen sharing a warm bond, putting their children first and maintaining a sense of togetherness as a family.
