Hrithik Roshan flew down from Florida to Mumbai late on Monday night. On Wednesday morning at around 10.30am, he and wife Sussanne Khan came to the Bandra family court where they filed for divorce. The couple, whose companionship spans a period of 17 years, was married for 10 years, and they recently (December 2013) went their separate ways. It has emerged that another hearing has been scheduled for six months from now.
When contacted, lawyer Dipesh Mehta divulged a few details. He said, `I am representing both Hrithik and Sussanne; they have filed for divorce by mutual consent. The counsellor has submitted the report and the next hearing will take place on October 31. The custody of their kids, Hrehaan and Hridaan, has been awarded to Sussanne.`
With the couple filing for divorce, rumours about their getting back together have been put to rest. Says a source close to the couple, `As their friends, we support their decision, but we had hoped that things would end differently. The kids will now be with Sussanne and Hrithik did not object to this. In fact, no allegations have been made by either party. The divorce is expected to come through by October end.`
