It wasn't meant to be: Zayed Khan reflects on Hrithik–Sussanne separation
Zayed Khan opened up about Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan's divorce, their focus on co-parenting, and finding happiness after separation.
Zayed Khan has opened up about the much-discussed separation of Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan, reflecting on how their 14-year marriage came to an end despite their efforts. Once one of Bollywood’s most talked-about couples, Hrithik and Sussanne have since redefined their relationship, continuing to support each other while co-parenting their children.
Speaking in an interview with Zoom, Zayed said, "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."
Zayed, who is Sussanne's younger brother, highlighted the maturity of both families in allowing Hrithik and Sussanne to find their own happiness after the separation. "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," he explained.
Regarding their personal lives after the split, Zayed spoke about the respect and care that continues between Hrithik and Sussanne. "I think love is a very broad word. I think the respect and care they have for each other is even more meaningful. I think they’ve got amazing partners. I’m so fond of Saba [Hrithik’s girlfriend] and I think she’s such a wonderful person. I’m so fond of Arslan [Sussanne’s boyfriend], he’s like my little junior brother. And you know, life goes on," he remarked.
Zayed expressed pride in Sussanne Khan for finding love again despite public scrutiny. "I can’t possibly put into words what they’ve gone through, but I respect them even more for how they’ve handled it, how they’ve moved forward, achieved what they have, and found love again along the way. I truly respect that. It’s very hard. At the end of the day, what is it? It’s about having someone you trust, that’s very important. Having the most honest sounding board is essential," he said.
He added, "Because otherwise, everyone seems to have an agenda. And how do you navigate the world if you don’t have that one strong person by your side?"
Meanwhile, Zayed Khan was last seen in Sony TV's Haasil, alongside Nikita Dutta and Vatsal Sheth.
