The celebrity jewellery designer Farah Khan Ali has dismissed the long-term speculation about her sister Sussanne Khan and ex-husband Hrithik Roshan. For years, gossip columns reported that Sussanne wanted ₹400 crore in alimony as part of her divorce settlement with the Bollywood superstar.
Farah now insists that these reports are totally false. She said Sussanne “did not take anything” from Hrithik and remained silent despite the persistent rumours. Her remarks put an end to one of the most widely-held stories in the Bollywood gossip circuit that had often portrayed Sussanne in controversial light.
Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan’s divorce in 2014 was one of the most high-profile separations in the industry. At the time, discussions of financial settlements dominated the headlines and the purported ₹400 crore figure was a topic of discussion in various media. But Farah’s comments of late show that Sussanne preferred to let her head down and be silent rather than respond to speculation.
Farah emphasized that her sister’s decision not to demand money was rooted in self-respect and independence. By refusing to respond to speculation, Sussanne avoided a lot of drama and maintained her privacy. This story also challenges the myth that women in celebrity divorces want large cash settlements, and that individual choices can be different.
The clarification has raised questions about how rumours alter public perception. Because people’s personal lives are so intertwined in Bollywood, there is a lot of misinformation in our industry and often a lot of it is spreading fast. Farah’s point is that we should not only deal with misinformation, but we need to deal with it so that reputations and family relationships are protected.
Hrithik Roshan, who still has one of the biggest bankable Bollywood stars; Sussanne Khan, who has her own career as an interior designer, and the truth behind that divorce is based on mutual respect not money disputes.
The answer to this is far from a surprise, but Farah Khan Ali’s admission is a fact that has finally put a shut down to speculation about Sussanne Khan’s divorce from Hrithik Roshan. Farah has changed the narrative and put Sussanne in a position of authority and dignity by clarifying that her sister doesn’t require any alimony.
