The worst seems to have come true for one of Bollywood's most-loved couples.

Susanne Roshan has walked out on (actor) husband Hrithik Roshan with their two kids and moved into her parents' home.

A statement from the actor confirms. “Sussanne has decided to separate from me and end our 17-year relationship.

"This is a very trying time for the entire family and I request the media and the people to grant us our privacy at this time,” says Hrithik, who has two sons with Sussanne – Hrehaan, 7 and Hridhaan, 5.

This statement released from Los Angeles, where Hrithik is on a holiday, left no ambiguity about who had left whom.

No one really knows what actually triggered the separation. But going by Hrithik's statement it seems he is putting the onus of the separation on his wife of 13 years.

In a statement, he says "Sussanne has decided" not "they".

He also goes on to profess his unconditional love for his wife on his Facebook fan page making it seem as if she is the one to be blamed for the split whereas he still loves her.

He wrote, "This my greatest tribute to love. Sussanne is and always will be the love of my life and for the rest of my life. If her smiles are brighter without me my love for her will accomplish that. Unconditional."

This confirmation of separation comes after four months of speculation about the split.

The two were reportedly living separately for the last three-four months. Also, they haven’t made any public appearance in recent times.

Interestingly, she was also missing from all the public events related to Hrithik’s recent hit, 'Krrish:3'.

Although things have taken an unpleasant turn, Hrithik in his statement insists that he still believes in marriage. “I do not wish this news to disempower my fans and the people about the institution of marriage in any way. I am a firm believer in this institution and respect and honour it at the highest level,” says the actor.

In his statement, the actor seems positive about the future. “I thank my fans for all the concern and prayers for my health. My treatment is going fine. I should be able to resume my life in every way very soon,” he says.

This isn’t the first time that the star couple’s marriage has come under the scanner.

There were reports during the making and release of 'Kites' that Hrithik was rather too close for Sussanne's comfort with his co-star Barbara Mori.

At that time, tension between the Roshans and her moving out of the house was blamed on termites.

The news has shocked fans and colleagues as Hrithik and Sussanne were considered a happy couple.

We wish the Roshan family peace and strength during this difficult time.
