Arjun R. denies role in SK-HR split+Jack confirms Arjun as 3rd wheel

Ever since the news of Hrithik Roshan and his wife Sussanne's split broke, there have been rumours that Arjun Rampal's proximity with Sussanne was one of the reasons for the star couple's separation.

Reacting to the reports, Rampal asserted that the duo are his close friends and that he is upset with his name being unnecessarily drawn in.

He issued a statement rubbishing the rumours:

"It is very sad when friends close to you take a decision to separate. These are the hardest times for them and we must be sensitive to towards this decision, rather than creating speculation and rumours. I read in the news as the same time as you all about my involvement in this marriage. It saddens me deeply that rumours become inevitable during celebrities going through such times. Mehr and I wish them only peace and love through these times and support them as friends should and we wish them and their families well always."

Hrithik Roshan recently issued a formal statement revealing that he and his wife have mutually decided to end their seventeen-year relationship.
