New Delhi: Caught amidst an ongoing legal battle with actress Kangana Ranaut, Hrithik Roshan has found support in his ex wife Sussanne Roshan. Hrithik and Sussanne might have been divorced now but she is supporting him at this time of ordeal, or so her tweet says.
Sussanne Khan has come forward to support Hrithik, condemning the leak of his "intimate" photograph with actress Kangana Ranaut. She says the image is "photoshopped".
The legal battle between the two stars took another turn when an image showing Hrithik embracing Kangana surfaced online. Hrithik's legal team had also slammed the leak of his "intimate" photograph, saying it did not tell the full story.
Sussanne, who separated from Hrithik in 2013, also shared an image that seems from the same party. The photograph shows the then couple holding each other closely.
She tweeted: "Pictures are photoshopped and untrue stories carry too much weight. Another picture for the record. I support Hrithik in this".
Issues between the two actors surfaced when Kangana hinted at Hrithik being her "ex", saying in an interview that she fails to understand "why exes do silly things to get your attention".
According to sources, the photographs are from a party in which Hrithik's ex-wife Sussanne and many other common friends were also present and all were hugging each other and taking jovial group pictures.
Earlier Sussanne had wanted to steer clear of this controversy as she had tweeted that no one will know what is going on in her mind.
Meanwhile Kangana's lawyer Rizwan Siddiquue in a statement slammed Hrithik for making pictures public to malign Kangana. In his statement, Rizwan asked what does Hrithik mean by a photoshop image?
His statement read,
"First and foremost I need to know who is representing Hrithik Roshan as an Advocate on record, as the Advocate seems to have been changed. The new Advocate should come forward and give a proper statement in his name, so that we do not see legal statements being issued on public domain by anonymous persons. Besides what do they mean by stating that the image is photoshopped or doctored. Do they mean that it is not Kangana in the image or is it not Hrithik or is it their claim that the expressions or the body language of either Kangana and Hrithik have been altered. They need to be specific because the photograph was meant to prove a point that Hrithik had blatantly lied not knowing my client Kangana socially at all. That point has been sufficiently proved in all respects and therefore we need to move on and stop arguing uselessly.
In any event we would like everyone to know that some common people have started intervening in the matter and want the matter to be resolved amicably. Therefore, to end the matter on a positive note we shall not be giving any further statement to the media on the said matter, as the same has also been assured from their side.
