Newly single Sussanne Roshan spoke for the first time after her separation from Hrithik and clarified that Arjun Rampal had no role in her split with her husband. In her own words, "You can't blame anyone for this. It is sad to blame anyone. We are close-knit friends. It's not right to blame anyone."

She was unable to give any specific reason for her separation with her husband whom she dated for 4 years before finally getting married to Hrithik Roshan in 2002. She said she cannot pinpoint a reason for parting ways with Hrithik. There is no reason. Sometimes you have to do this because of a situation," said the mother of two sons - Hrehaan and Hridhaan.

Hrithik announced Sussanne's decision to end their marriage via an official statement on Dec 13. Sussanne launched her new store yesterday in collaboration with two other Bollywood wives Maheep Kapoor and Seema Khan in Mumbai..

She took for a tour of the store, which is spread over six floors and topped with an open air bar. "This is the first time I'm having a proper look, it feels like giving birth to another child," Sussanne told newsmen.

"Every family goes through ups and downs. It's part of life. But I'm glad to have my girls around. I'm going to focus on the store for now. I still believe in love and the good in the world. I have a feeling that happy things are in store for me in the future. With time, one has to move on in life," said Sussanne.


What about kids? She said, "They are dying to see the store. I couldn't get them today. But they'll be here tomorrow morning," she said.

Shilpa Shetty and Lara Dutta were the first guests to arrive. Salman Khan's arrival caused a pandemonium as he walked in with Sohail Khan and his two nephews to support his sister-in-law Seema. Arbaaz Khan and wife Mallaika too represented the Khan khandaan.

Shah Rukh Khan's entry seemed timed to avoid the other Khan as he arrived with wife Gauri, a close friend of Sussanne. Arjun Rampal and Mehr Jessia were there too and so were Karan Johar, Sridevi, Ritesh Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza.
