Sussanne Khan Stands Up For Hrithik Roshan Amid Controversy: "Please Respect A Family's Tough Periods"

Today, Sussanne Khan has come to the defense of Hrithik Roshan amid much of family controversies that surrounded him recently. She also has requested respect for privacy as every family has to go through a tough time.

Earlier this year, Hrithik's father underwent a major surgery as he suffered from throat cancer. When the crisis time hasn't passed, Hrithik Roshan has recently faced with accusations levelled by his sister Sunaina Roshan for his much-hyped affair rumor with Kangana Ranaut. She also revealed that she did not get along well with family members ever since.

Facing a difficult time, Sussanne Khan as a family member of the Roshan's family then took to Instagram to express her concern.

Her post read:

"As a part of my experience with all concerned and in my life span of being a part of this close knit family, I know Sunaina, to be an extremely loving warm, caring person, who is in an unfortunate situation. Sunaina's father is undergoing a major health crisis. Her mother is herself vulnerable to say the least. Please respect a family's tough periods, each family goes through such times. I needed to say this as someone who has been a part of this family for long."

Recently, the grapevine has been abuzz with rumors that Sunaina has been receiving treatment for bipolar disorder which somehow led to her uncomprehensive statement in recent time. Hrithik's sister then put an end to speculation by admitting she went to a rehab center for her alcohol abuse problem.

"Yes, there are certain issues, but please don't ask me to talk about this more as it's about my family and I don't want them to be affected further. All I can say is that I have been staying in a rented hotel apartment for the past 17 - 18 days before I came back home to stay in the same building as my parents. While I am staying in their home, I have a separate entrance and a separate floor on which I live. It's sad but they are not even supporting me," Sunaina Khan shared.

Talking about Sunaina in an interview with Mumbai Mirror, actress Kangana Ranaut who was named in the controversy said: "It is true that Sunaina and I were always good friends and so was her family. Now they claim differently. Yes, she has been in touch with me, but I don't want to take advantage of her family dispute. Sunaina is still a friend but I will not hit somebody when they are down."
