‘Hrithik as my co-parent is a very big thing': What Sussanne Khan's journey with Hrithik Roshan reveals about how mutual respect after divorce can shape emotionally healthy children
Parenting after separation is rarely easy, but Sussanne Khan and Hrithik Roshan have shown how mutual respect and shared goals can create a nurturing and balanced environment for their children. Speaking at the Reality Conclave & Awards 2025, Sussanne, a successful interior designer and entrepreneur, offered insight into her ongoing co-parenting journey with the Bollywood actor. 'Our children are very artistic. Both my boys are artistically inclined to another level,' she shared. 'So I think the support of my family and of course Hrithik as my co-parent is a very big thing to us. I am feeling very grateful and very blessed.' Sussanne's comments come not long after Hrithik posted a heartfelt tribute to her professional success on Instagram, writing, 'Dreams to reality. So proud of you Sussanne! I remember 20 years ago this was a concept you kept dreaming about. Today as you launch your SECOND Charcoal Project in Hyderabad, I can't help but applaud the little girl who dared to dream so many years ago… Your hard work shows, but what shows most is your exquisite and unique talent! World-class truly!' Sonal Khangarot, licensed rehabilitation counsellor and psychotherapist, The Answer Room, tells 'Absolutely, post-divorce relationships can evolve into emotionally supportive partnerships — but only when both individuals are willing to move beyond resentment and ego. In my work, I've seen that the shift depends heavily on emotional maturity, mutual respect, and a conscious decision to prioritise the child's emotional landscape over personal grievances.' When parents are able to model conflict resolution, co-regulation, and boundaries even post-separation, it rewires how children view relationships. 'Instead of internalising separation as something destructive or shameful, they start to see it as a transition — where love and support don't have to disappear just because the structure changed,' notes Khangarot. Khangarot states, 'When children witness mutual appreciation between divorced parents, it fosters emotional resilience and a more secure internal working model of relationships. They begin to view both parents as individuals navigating life with dignity rather than adversaries. This reduces their tendency to internalise blame or engage in black-and-white thinking.' Over time, she adds, it nurtures empathy, perspective-taking, and the ability to resolve conflicts in their own relationships. 'A study by Sandler et al. (2008) found that positive post-divorce parenting significantly reduced emotional distress and increased social competence in children, laying a strong foundation for healthier adult relationships and a higher emotional quotient (EQ).' Divorced co-parents can benefit greatly by adopting the mindset of team leadership—where the shared 'project' is the well-being of the child. Like in successful teams, clear communication, defined roles, mutual respect, and goal alignment are essential. Viewing each other as partners rather than opponents helps reduce ego-driven conflict and fosters collaboration. Just as effective teams focus on long-term success over individual wins, Khangarot notes, co-parents who adopt this approach prioritise the child's needs over personal grievances. This perspective encourages problem-solving, accountability, and emotional regulation — key elements that build trust and stability in the parenting dynamic over time, even post-separation.

Celebrity hair stylist Aalim Hakim rubbishes rumours about Hrithik Roshan and Kapil Sharma wearing hair patches: 'I personally cut their hair'
Celebrity hairstylist Aalim Hakim is known for cutting the hair of most big celebs - be it actors or cricketers like Virat Kohli , Ranbir Kapoor , Abhishek Bachchan , Hrithik Roshan among many others. While many feel that most actors wear wigs or hair patches, in a recent interview, Aalim has addressed these rumours and said that most of them aren't true. Aalim confidently spoke about Hrithik's hair and also about Kapil Sharma . He said, during a chat with Hindi Rush, "Ironically, I don't have real hair myself,' he confessed with a chuckle. 'But as far as the actors go, they don't wear wigs or hairpieces. I work closely with them—I know.' 'I personally cut their hair. If it were fake, it wouldn't behave the same way on camera. For instance, Hrithik's chopper scene in War—that hair movement, that texture—it's all real and top quality,' he explained. When asked about the origin of the constant chatter, Aalim said he often receives messages from people praising the "wigs" of certain stars. 'They've got it all wrong,' he added. 'Meanwhile, I'm the one with the fake hair—and I don't hide it.' Hrithik Roshan himself once joked about the subject during a chat with Pinkvilla, referencing a family legacy of hair loss. 'In our family, discussions about hair—or the lack of it—have been going on for generations,' he quipped. His father, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, recalled a journalist telling him Hrithik would also go bald one day. Rakesh had calmly replied, 'Even if he loses his hair, he won't lose his fate. Luck doesn't lie in the hair; it lies beneath it,' he said, gesturing to his forehead.

I said you have hair, what have you done?' The director than added, 'I told him 'Even if he loses his hair, he will not lose his kismet. Lakerein baalon mei nahi hote, baalon ke neeche hote hai',' he said, pointing to his forehead.

"I think he's preparing for a new movie, Krrish 4. I don't know, maybe I'll be able to participate in the soundtrack. Or you know, maybe…I've never acted before. So maybe this'll be my first time acting. Maybe in the movie, you see me and I come out and I die right away," Jackson had said. Jackson took a trip to Mumbai to promote his upcoming album Magic Man 2, a follow-up to his 2022 album Magic Man. He previously visited the country for a performance at Lollapalooza India in 2023.
