We’re bonded for life

The divorce between Sussanne Khan and Hrithik Roshan had no bearing on the bond that Zarine Khan, mother of the décor expert, shares with the Bollywood actor. She says they are still “mother” and “son” to each other.

Hrithik and Sussanne split in 2014 after a 17-year relationship, but the “Bang Bang” star still promoted the launch of a book by Zarine, on Twitter last week. He even called her “mom”. Zarine shares the same emotion for Hrithik, who has two sons with Sussanne.

“We have been friends since years. He is the father of my grandchildren and we are bonded for life,” the wife of veteran actor Sanjay Khan and also mother of actor-producer Zayed Khan, jewellery designer Farah Khan Ali and entrepreneur Simone Arora, told IANS in an interview. She credits Sussanne for her “graciousness” as a woman for letting the bond continue.

“When the divorce went through, she (Sussanne) didn’t make a hue and cry. We are a family and we always have been family and friends together,” added Zarine Khan, who has over four decades of experience in interior designing, and who has now come up with her first book titled “Family Secrets: The Khan Family Cookbook”.
