For years, one claim has continued to follow Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan’s divorce despite neither of them ever speaking much about it publicly. Rumours suggesting that Sussanne received a staggering ₹400 crore as alimony kept resurfacing online, becoming one of the most repeated stories around their separation. Now, more than a decade after the couple ended their marriage, Sussanne’s sister Farah Khan Ali has firmly rejected those reports. Speaking at length about the family’s side of the story, she made it clear that the widely circulated figure was never true.
The actor and interior designer ended their marriage in 2014 after spending over 13 years together as husband and wife. Even though the relationship came to an end, both have continued to share a respectful bond while raising their two sons together. Their friendly equation has often surprised fans, but according to Farah, that relationship itself reflects how peacefully everything was handled behind closed doors.
Farah Khan Ali Calls the ₹400 Crore Story Completely False
During a conversation with journalist Vickey Lalwani on his YouTube channel, Farah looked back at the period when Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan announced their separation. She admitted that the news shocked many people and quickly became a topic of national discussion. While public opinions kept growing around their personal lives, she believes both Hrithik and Sussanne dealt with the difficult phase with maturity and dignity.
Addressing the biggest rumour directly, Farah said, “Everyone was in shock. There was a lot of hue and cry. There were a lot of opinions which people had about their personal life, but I think they both handled it all beautifully. It was amicable. One thing I want to say on record is that there was never ₹400 crore alimony, and I feel sick at the bottom of my heart when I see people online saying that ₹400 crore was paid and Sussanne got richer. I mean, that is such a lie. My dearest sister did not take anything. We come from a family and a mother who taught us that materialistic things are not important; relationships are more important. So, my sister did not take anything. That’s why today, the relationship she has with her ex-husband Hrithik and her ex-in-laws, Pinkie and Rakesh Roshan, is amazing. They love her. I think she conducted herself in a very sophisticated manner. She is not a gold-digger. She is very elegant. She comes from a khandani (reputed) family. She is elegant, and Hrithik is also a wonderful man. It didn’t work out for them, but you don’t need to blow up your marriage for the sake of the press. There was no alimony in this. It’s incorrect and completely bad.”
Her remarks directly challenge one of Bollywood’s longest-running divorce rumours. Despite the speculation spreading repeatedly across social media over the years, Farah insisted there was never any financial settlement of the kind being reported. She also praised both families for maintaining mutual respect long after the marriage ended.
Why Sussanne Never Responded to the Reports
Farah also revealed that she had personally encouraged Sussanne to publicly deny the reports several times after the divorce became official. However, Sussanne chose not to react because she simply didn’t feel the need to explain herself to strangers. According to Farah, that decision reflected her sister’s personality more than anything else.
Recalling those conversations, Farah shared, “I told her, ‘Why don’t you deny all this?’ She said, ‘I don’t care what people think of me, Farah’. I think we are all like that. I do whatever I want. Unless you bring some value into my life, what I do shouldn’t matter to you, and what you think of me shouldn’t matter to me.”
Celebrity divorces often become surrounded by speculation, especially when two high-profile names are involved. In many cases, stories continue circulating online for years even without official confirmation. Farah’s latest comments appear to be the family’s clearest attempt yet to put those particular claims to rest.
Hrithik and Sussanne Continue to Share a Strong Bond
Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan were childhood friends before falling in love and tying the knot in December 2000. Their wedding came shortly after Hrithik’s blockbuster debut with Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, a film that instantly turned him into one of Bollywood’s biggest stars. During their marriage, they welcomed two sons, Hrehaan in 2006 and Hridhaan in 2008, who have remained at the centre of both parents’ lives.
The couple announced their separation in 2013, and their divorce was finalised the following year. Instead of allowing the split to create distance between their families, they gradually built a healthy co-parenting relationship that continues even today. Fans regularly see Hrithik and Sussanne celebrating birthdays, vacations and family occasions together alongside their sons, showing that while their marriage ended, mutual respect never completely disappeared. That lasting friendship is exactly what Farah believes speaks louder than years of speculation surrounding their divorce.
