^^^^^Ah yes, the epic fairytale DuSu love story! Only a little less lovely and romantic than the proposal in Paris. The boy and girl whose families vacationed together when they were children and who knew each other essentially since birth … but somehow fell in love with just a glance at a red-light when the girl came back from her fake college in the US two years younger than when she’d left … how strange they fell in love with the exact same meet-cute the boy’s father created for his movie debut completely utterly independently because the father didn’t know - of course he didn’t know! - about the real life meet cute his son had because of course that’s not remotely unbelievable or even implausible. And of course when a boy is caught canoodling on a plane with his heroine risking the perfect good boy image his father has very carefully crafted for him, well obviously he will hastily marry his childhood sweetheart in a ceremony thrown together so quickly they can’t invite anyone because that’s definitely what true love looks like. We all know true love so rarely withstands a Shobhe De Stardust gossip column - obviously you have to move up your marriage to combat a ‘fake’ story like that. Nothing says lasting love like a hasty wedding to squash rumors 😆
Seriously I feel bad for both Hrithik and Sussane. You can’t be a Hrithik fan without knowing he feels his childhood was traumatic. Su’s family, especially her father, are awful and I’m sure she is doing what she honestly thinks is best for herself and her sons. I can see her side of things without needing to ascribe any particularly altruistic intentions to her actions. She is definitely out for herself and who can blame her?
I am truly not anti Su, but I’m also not blind to her manipulations. She definitely had most of my sympathy at the time they divorced - and without question Hrithik used her for publicity during marriage and after the you-know-who saga. But I’ve watched the two of them for a very very long time now and I have seen and heard things and here are some highlights: 1. She and the Khans are MUCH better at managing the press/PR than Hrithik and the Roshans are 2. She loves the spotlight - if her dad weren’t a sexist pig I’m sure she would have been an actress and probably a really really good one 3. She “left” him because she thought she could negotiate a better financial deal in a public divorce than a private separation (he moved to a hotel months before she publicly ‘left’ him. 4. She thought she could take a large lump sum and then kick the Roshans firmly to the curb because she truly believed her business would continue unaffected after the divorce but instead it took a nose dive and she was near bankruptcy by 2015. 5. The happy divorce is a myth - they were hostile to each other for years after. 6. After the publicly orchestrated burying of the hatchet, she and ‘sources close to’ her tried very hard to make his fans falsely believe they were on the brink of reconciliation for years - literally years - while he was actively dating other women (I think she was dating too but not sure) . Motive? - I think she honestly hoped he’d agree to a remarriage of convenience- on paper only, basically going back to their ‘marriage’ circa 2011 - but he was not interested.
So bottom line, I’m hoping for the very very best but I am not feeling warm and fuzzy about whatever is on SuzyQ’s agenda right now.
