Hrithik Roshan and his wife Sussanne have decided to end their 13-year old marriage.
The 39-year-old 'Kites' actor issued a statement saying that his 35-year-old wife has decided to end their 17-year relationship and requested the media to respect their privacy.
However, the 'Agneepath' star added that he is a firm believer in the institution of marriage and respects and honors it at the highest level.
It is believed that their marriage was going through a rough phase when Sussanne had moved out of the Roshan residence and was staying with her parents. But, they never accepted this in public.
