New Delhi: PM Narendra Modi on Tuesday (March 24) announced a 21-day nationwide lockdown to combat Coronavirus pandemic. Several Bollywood celebs including Shahid Kapoor, Taapsee Pannu and Amitabh Bachchan welcomed PM Modi’s move and asked their fans to follow the lockdown and maintain social distancing.


Hrithik Roshan, who shared a video message to urge his followers to take proper precautions, has posted a heartfelt note for his ex wife Sussanne Khan. Sussanne has temporally moved in with Hrithik so that their two sons Hridhaan Roshan and Hrehaan Roshan can remain with their parents during the lockdown period.

It is unimaginable for me, as a parent, to think of having to be separated from my children at a time when the country is practicing lockdowns.

It is heartwarming to see the world come together as one in this time of deep uncertainty and possibility of months of social distancing and potential lockdowns for several weeks perhaps .

While the world talks about humanity coming together, I think it represents more than just an idea especially for parents sharing custody of their kids. How to keep their kids close to them without infringing on the right of the other who also has an equal right to be with his/her children.

This is a picture of dear Sussanne (my ex wife) , who has graciously volunteered to temporarily move out of her home so that our children are not disconnected indefinitely from either one of us.

Thank you Sussanne for being so supportive and understanding in our journey of co-parenting.

Our children will tell the story we create for them.

I hope and pray that in order to safeguard the health of ourselves and our loved ones, we all find our way to express love, empathy, courage, strength with an open heart.

#beopen #bekind #bebrave #responsibility #coexist #empathy #strength #courage #oneworld #humanity #wecanfighththis #loveoverfear,” Hrithik wrote in his post.



Hrithik and Sussanne, who tied the knot on December 20, 2000, got divorced in 2014. The former couple has remained on cordial terms for the sake of their children. The two are often spotted on movie and lunch dates with their two sons.

On the professional front, Hrithik Roshan was last seen in 'War' co-starring Tiger Shroff and Vaani Kapoor. The 'Super 30'  actor is yet to announce his next project.
