When a couple decides to part ways and files for divorce, it is their kids, who suffer the most. Especially today, when the stigma around divorce has taken a back seat and couples are preferring to break up rather than staying in an unhappy marriage, they are also being considerate towards their little ones’ future. B-town’s ex-lovebirds, Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan are exemplars of how an estranged couple can co-parent their kids after their separation.

A parent-child relationship is one of the most fun and pious bonds in the universe. Hrithik Roshan and his now ex-wife and ‘best friend’, Sussanne Khan are experiencing this pious relationship with their ‘son’shines, Hrehaan Roshan and Hridhaan Roshan. It was in 2013 when Hrithik and Sussanne had announced their separation but had decided to co-parent their kids so that they are not deprived of either of their parents’ love and affection.
On May 1, 2020, Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Roshan’s son, Hridhaan Roshan turned 12 and to mark this day, his doting mommy posted a video comprising of some beautiful moments of the little one. Sussanne wrote a heartfelt wish for her artist son, “My Ridz full of stars.. happy 12th You will always only be..Up and Up, my artist Son.. god bless you limitless today and forever... as you only know to give with your heart. #myridzajaan #summeroflockdown2020 #ridzfullofstars.”
Owing to the pandemic lockdown, Sussanne Khan had moved in her ex-husband, Hrithik Roshan’s home to co-parent their kids, Hrehaan Roshan and Hridhaan Roshan during the phase. A few days back, Hrithik had posted a picture of his ex-wife, Sussanne, chilling on a couch in his living room. Setting major goals for separated partners to co-parent their kids amidst the lockdown, Hrithik and Sussanne had found a way to ensure that Hrehaan and Hridhaan don’t feel ‘disconnected’ from either of them. Acknowledging how Sussanne had graciously volunteered to temporarily move-in to his home, Hrithik had penned down a beautiful note. Hrithik had written, “It is unimaginable for me, as a parent, to think of having to be separated from my children at a time when the country is practising lockdowns.” (Also Read: K.G.F.

Speaking of the meaning of ‘coming together’ for parents sharing the custody of their kids, Hrithik Roshan’s note had continued, “It is heartwarming to see the world come together as one in this time of deep uncertainty and possibility of months of social distancing and potential lockdowns for several weeks perhaps. While the world talks about humanity coming together, I think it represents more than just an idea especially for parents sharing custody of their kids. How to keep their kids close to them without infringing on the right of the other who also has an equal right to be with his/her children.”
Thanking Sussanne Khan for temporarily moving out of her home to co-parent their kids, Hrithik Roshan’s note ended with “This is a picture of dear Sussanne (my ex wife), who has graciously volunteered to temporarily move out of her home so that our children are not disconnected indefinitely from either one of us. Thank you Sussanne for being so supportive and understanding in our journey of co-parenting. Our children will tell the story we create for them. I hope and pray that in order to safeguard the health of ourselves and our loved ones, we all find our way to express love, empathy, courage, strength with an open heart. #beopen #bekind #bebrave #responsibility #coexist #empathy #strength #courage #oneworld #humanity #wecanfighththis #loveoverfear.”
In a throwback interview to the PTI, Hrithik Roshan had revealed that of all the values he wants his sons, Hrehaan Roshan and Hridhaan Roshan to imbibe while growing up, understanding the importance of one's contribution to the society tops his wishlist. He had stated, “Sometimes at home, during breakfast time, when I am sitting at the table with my two young boys, I look at them and think to myself that 20 years from now, what do I want them to grow up to be? While there are different pictures in my head, I also think what will success mean to them. What values will they uphold, and which virtue will they hold highest? am discovering a father's hopes and desires for his children. But among all those, one value that I want them to have, which I believe is the most important one is of contribution. (It) is the most noble thing and is one that brings us to God. So, I sit at the breakfast table looking at them (his children), thinking whether they will understand the magic and the beauty of contribution and service.” (Also Read: On Rohit Sharma's Birthday, Wife, Ritika Sajdeh Posts A Beautiful Picture And Calls Him The Best Dad)
