Rs.400 crore alimony news a fabrication: Hrithik Roshan

Mumbai, Jul 31: Reacting to rumours that his estranged wife Sussanne Roshan has demanded an alimony of a whopping Rs.400 crore, actor Hrithik Roshan has said it is "fabricated news", which is "testing my patience".

"Fabricated news articles. Demeaning my loved ones. Testing my patience," Hrithik posted on micro-blogging site Twitter Wednesday night.

The duo announced their split in December 2013. Hrithik then said that Sussanne decided to annul their marriage and end their 17-year relationship.

They had tied the knot Dec 20, 2000, following a whirlwind romance. They have two sons - Hrehaan and Hridhaan.

In December itself, there was news that their divorce was a Rs.100 crore settlement. However, Sussanne denied the reports, saying "there is no element of truth in the news and it is entirely speculative".

Sussanne on her part also issued a statement to the media saying, “We are two individuals who respect and care for each other and have made our own individual choices. We are parents to two wonderful kids and our responsibility remains to protect and take care of them. Nothing can change that. Would appreciate if we are given our privacy in such a time. Thank you for your warmth and concern for both of us and the family.”

Sussanne is an interior decorator and has been involved with several prominent projects in India and Dubai.
