The new-age definition of no love lost' is to not let love be lost even when marriages end. Bollywood couples are taking divorce-maturity to a new level for their children's sake.

Topping the mature divorcees' list are Farhan Akhtar and his ex-wife Adhuna, who parted ways in January 2016. Ever since, they have maintained a calm bearing. A close friend of the couple says, "Farhan and Adhuna continue to look out for each other, and it's not only for their children.

This post-divorce idea of being together in separation is also shared by Hrithik Roshan and his former wife Sussanne Khan. Both have confessed earlier that there is no plan of a reunion; however, they will continue to be friends and function as a team to bring up their sons.

After staying aloof initially, Malaika Arora also joined the club of chilled-out divorcees! The model-actress continues to be spotted at her ex-husband Arbaaz Khan's family functions, even though her relation with the ex-hubby is not quite hunky-dory. A designer-friend of Malaika says, "It all depends on what separates a couple. In Farhan-Adhuna's case, there was no bitterness in the parting. They just outgrew each other. But in the case of Hrithik-Sussanne and Arbaaz-Malika, there was a lot of acrimony during parting. Hrithik and Sussanne have covered up their mutual grievances well for the sake of the children.

In any case, how to be friends with an ex is a secret formula in Bollywood. When Aamir Khan married his college sweetheart Reena, no one thought it would ever end. But it did! "There is a certain amount of interest in keeping the bonding with the family alive after divorce. when, a hotshot director quips. But even Kiran seems to be extremely fond of Aamir's children from the first marriage.

"It all depends on what separates a couple"

Absolutely! It all depends on that. However, I find a few things quite interesting. If someone can help me understand that would be great.

Suz and HR if indeed had a bitter break up, why is she going around posting pics of HR and calling him "sunshine of her life". I need an explanation. Someone once said it's PR. Really? Just PR? You'd lie this much for PR? People do that? LOL! People can be friendly and cordial and go on trips but "sunshine of my life"? 😆

As for Aamir...Reena's brother is still married to Aamir's sister so I can see how his family will always be close to her and she will be a part of the family in a big way so I get that. But she now works for Paani foundation and I find that quite amazing- working for your ex-hubby's organization! Isn't that a bit too close? What do people think about that?

I don't have an ex of any kind so the more info I get the better I can understand. 😆

My opinion of Sussanne changes daily 😆 but every day I believe she loves her sons and she loves money. I also believe she is ambitious (which Gauri and Sussanne have also said in interviews), she is a good actress, and she is better at PR than Hrithik is. Whatever Hrithik earns will eventually go to her sons (and I think already a great deal makes its way to her). Regardless of how she may feel about Hrithik, her sons (and likely she) benefit from his success and lose when he loses. It makes perfect sense to me that if their boys were struggling socially because of the scandal or they feared for Hrithiks career, Hrithik and Sussanne would come together publicly to stop the damage if possible. Do I think she can post an Instagram calling him the sunshine of her life without necessarily meaning it? Well she said her marriage was solid during the "white ant " episode of 2009 and told the press her husband was her biggest supporter and would definitely be at her store opening days before their separation (which happened months before) was made public. In short, she was raised by Sanjay and Zarine Khan, acting and lying are the same actions - the terms are relative. Do I know she doesn't mean it, absolutely not. They claimed they were great friends before marriage. Maybe they had a bitter breakup, time passed and wounds healed and now they are truly good friends again.

Even if you had children together? What if your inability to be cordial hurt your children, could you do it then?

Bitter divorce means something like Saif n Amrita. I don't think Hrithik Sussanne or Arbaaz Malaika had a Bitter divorce. As even on divorce day, he went to leave her in her car and she tells that she will call him up.
But yes,there was lot of ego issues between her n his Parents in the run up to the official separation. She didn't come to join his parents ganapati celebration. He attended her Bday party but his Parents didnot join. There hv been always news that she wanted to move out to separate house with Hrithik as she n his parents were not getting along. They also didn't like her partying with Rampals. Even 1 week before separation, her Mom said ego issues happen in all marriages but it is not a big thing.

Three days before her store launch, Susanne was saying HR will come to open her new store. But he was no mood to budge by then n left for US. It is from there that he announced separation. Even after separation announcement, her father said both just need space n this is not a closure.

I think both of them regretted it. But since they announced, they decided to stuck to it. Even after divorce, both were spotted at a resort together. Hrithik for first time moved out of his Parents house n bought a new house as last minute attempt to save marriage but it was too late.

In all this, there is only 1 thing that stands out. Hrithik has stopped all communication n ties with Arjun Rampals ever since 2013. I don't think he or his parents approved his company as they were highly into weed n drugs.

Initial days of divorce, Susanne was deliberately hanging out Rampals too much as a dig to HR family. Later, she seems to hv gone mature, ditched the ugly company n has been making amends since then. She attended Ganapati celebrations of his family. Attending dinner with his parents. Attending birthday party celebrations of his mom. Joining vacations with his family. It is she who has been posting pics tagging him. She posts couple type messages n pics.


To people who think that she needs money shud know that she dated him when she was earning more than him and she wud get the money even otherwise as she is legally entitled to it. Her family is very rich n she is a successful designer too. I feel she genuinely wants to be back to him. It is Hrithik who is taking it slow.

She has been showing all the signs of it not just to Hrithik but also to his Parents. I hv never seen such visible love from her side towards his Parents during her marriage. Whereas in contrast, Hrithik always got along really well with her family. They even attended his birthday party in yatch in Jan 2014 after separation announcement. He never had never issues with her family. He was very close to them always.

One lesson all of them learnt is: True Love always finds it way back. And it is better to lose your Ego than your loved ones. This separation has actually brought them all more closer n stronger than before. It was a much needed break for childhood sweethearts with Strong personalities.

Well I am not married😆
So i can only imagine situations..
If I had children then God help us.
In front of kids , obviously won't fight, but somewhere inside that trust will be broken and cannot be repaired .
Can never really go back to that cordial relationship, jaisa ki kuch hua hi nahi

Slightly different version of the same (?) article from Bollywood Hungama


V Day: Hrithik Roshan-Sussanne Khan, Malaika Arora-Arbaaz Khan re-define the term No Love Lost'

BySubhash K. Jha
Feb 14, 2018 - 10:37 am IST

The new-age definition of no-love-lost is to not let love be lost even when marriages end. Bollywood couples are taking divorce- maturity to the next level by staying together as a couple for their kids.

The maturest of them all are Farhan Akhtar and his ex-wife Adhuna who went their separate ways in January 2016. Ever since; they have maintained an attitude of post-marriage maturity, and not just for their two daughters' sake.

#Malaika Arora
V Day: Hrithik Roshan-Sussanne Khan, Malaika Arora-Arbaaz Khan re-define the term No Love Lost'Says a close friend of the couple, "Farhan and Adhuna continue to look out for each other. This post-divorce idea of together-in-separation is also shared by Hrithik Roshan and his former wife Sussanne. Both have confessed to this writer that there is never going to be any reunion. But they will continue to function as parents to their sons. Said Sussanne, "There is no possibility of reconciliation...ever.

After sulking for a bit, Malaika Arora Khan also joined the club of chilled-out divorcees. She continues to be present at her ex-husband Arbaaz's family functions, though her relations with her former husband are not quite hunky-dory.

A designer-friend of Ms Malaika preens, "It all depends on what separates a couple. In Farhan-Adhuna's case there was no bitterness in the parting. They just outgrew each other. But in the case of Hrithik-Sussanne and Arbaaz-Malika there was a lot of acrimony during parting. Hrithik and Susanne have covered their mutual grievances well for the sake of the children.

When Aamir Khan married his college sweetheart Reena, no one thought it would ever end. But it did. However in spite of the fact that he is happily married to Kiran Rao now, Reena and the two children from his past marriage continue to be an integral part of Aamir's life.

"There is a certain amount of interest in keeping the bonding with the family alive after divorce when your ex-husband is Aamir Khan or Salman Khan's brother, a hotshot director bitches naughtily.

Even Kiran seems extremely fond of Aamir's children from the first marriage. Unlike Sridevi whose marriage to producer Boney Kapoor stonewalled his relationship with his first wife the late and much missed Mona Kapoor and his two children from her. Ironically Boney's two children from first marriage Arjun and Anshula are very close to Boney's brother Anil Kapoor and his family while Boney now keeps a distance from his brother.

Not all marriages in showbiz end amicably. Kamal Haasan and Sarika parted most bitterly and mutual friends had to take sides.

Sarika never forgave me for supporting Kamal Haasan during their very painful separation. But that's another story. Some other time.
