Hrithik Roshan, Arjun Rampal slam Sussanne 'link-up'

A report in a leading daily has invited the wrath of Bollywood actors Hrithik Roshan and Arjun Rampal.

There was a report published in a leading Indian daily mentioning that Arjun Rampal's closeness with Hrithik's ex Sussanne Khan is the reason of fallout between once very good friends Sussanne and Arjun's wife Mehr Jesia.

Not taking the report lightly, both Hrihik and Arjun took to Twitter to take out their anger. Arjun warned the media to stay away from him and his family.

The report in the daily stated "a star wife close to all three told us that the drama had taken a turn. About two months ago, Mehr apparently found that out that despite their repeated denials, the friendship between Arjun and Sussanne ran deeper. The two allegedly travelled overseas during the same period and when abroad, they spent quality time with each other."

The story comes after Sussanne and Mehr went on record to clear the air about these rumours.

Sussanne released a statement lashing out at the piece, which appeared in the papers on Monday morning. Here's what she 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."
