Hrithik Roshan turns 45, ex-wife Sussanne says 'shine on'

As actor Hrithik Roshan turned 45 on Thursday, his former wife Sussanne Khan called him her "best friend forever" and "soulmate", even as several others from the film fraternity wished the "great son" and "extraordinary father" all the best.

Sussanne took to Instagram, where she shared multiple photographs of herself along with Hrithik, who she married in 2000. The couple divorced in 2014 and have two sons, Hridhaan and Hrehaan Roshan.

Despite their split, the two continue to be friends.

"Happiest happy birthday to my BFF... from and through this world and onto other realms. The force will always be with you. Shine on unlimited, this man, best BFF... best dad in the world... Soulmate," she captioned the image.

Hrithik, whose father and actor-filmmaker Rakesh Roshan underwent surgery for throat cancer earlier this year, will be seen next on the big screen in "Super 30" and in a Siddharth Anand directorial with Tiger Shroff.

Here's what Bollywood celebrities wished for the "Krrish" star on his special day:
