Hrithik RoshanMumbai, Jul 31: Reacting to rumours that his estranged wife Sussanne Roshan has demanded an alimony of a whopping Rs.400 crore, actor Hrithik Roshan has said it is "fabricated news", which is "testing my patience".

"Fabricated news articles. Demeaning my loved ones. Testing my patience," Hrithik posted on micro-blogging site Twitter Wednesday night.

The duo announced their split in December 2013. Hrithik then said that Sussanne decided to annul their marriage and end their 17-year relationship.

They had tied the knot Dec 20, 2000, following a whirlwind romance. They have two sons - Hrehaan and Hridhaan.

In December itself, there was news that their divorce was a Rs.100 crore settlement. However, Sussanne denied the reports, saying "there is no element of truth in the news and it is entirely speculative".

New Delhi, Jul 30: Hrithik Roshan who is storming Bollywood and fans with the amazing reception to the trailer of his upcoming film Bang Bang, is having tough time in personal life.

Sussanne demandsHrithik and Sussanne filed for divorce earlier this year, but now reports suggest that Sussanne, who is an established designer, has apparently demanded close to Rs 400 crore from her former husband as alimony.

The actor has reportedly agreed to pay Rs 380 crore in settlement.

Sussanne's lawyers are reportedly making every possible attempt to close the case by getting the best financial settlement. Despite the separation, the estranged couple has tried to keep up a civilised appearance in public.

The two were spotted together celebrating their son’s birthday in Lonavala. On December 14, 2013, the couple called off their marriage and issued two separate statements to the media.

In his statement Hrithik Roshan had said that Sussanne decided to walk out of their 13-year-old marriage.

“This is my greatest tribute to love. Sussanne is and always will be the love of my life for the rest of my life. If her smiles are brighter without me, my love for her must accomplish that,” Hrithik had written on his Facebook page. However, in a separate statement, Sussanne had called it, “our own individual choices”.

Sussanne on her part also issued a statement to the media saying, “We are two individuals who respect and care for each other and have made our own individual choices. We are parents to two wonderful kids and our responsibility remains to protect and take care of them. Nothing can change that. Would appreciate if we are given our privacy in such a time. Thank you for your warmth and concern for both of us and the family.”

Sussanne is an interior decorator and has been involved with several prominent projects in India and Dubai.

Despite being a successful entrepreneur, Sussanne is set to walk away with a huge amount as a parting gift from her former husband.

Hrithik is currently busy with the post-production work of his upcoming action thriller Bang Bang. He will soon start promoting the film along with co-star Katrina Kaif.

The couple approached the family court on April 30 and filed an application for separation by mutual consent. Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne, were childhood sweethearts.

They have two sons – Hrehaan and Hridhaan.

Mumbai, Jul 25: Movie theatres have been shuttered for months due to the coronavirus pandemic in the country, but the Information and Broadcasting Ministry has now recommended that the Union Home Ministry allow cinema halls to reopen in August. 

I&B Secretary Amit Khare indicated this at a close-door industry interaction with the CII Media Committee on Friday. He said Home Secretary Ajay Bhalla at the Home Ministry would take the final call.

Khare said that he has recommended that cinema halls may be allowed to reopen all over India as early as August 1, or at the latest, around August 31.

The formula suggested is that alternate seats in the first row and then the next row be kept vacant, and proceeding in this fashion throughout.

Khare said that his ministry's recommendation takes into consideration the two metre social distancing norm, but tweaks it gently to two yards instead. The Home Ministry, however, still has to revert on the recommendation.

Cinema owners, present in the interaction, however, pushed back and said this formula is unwise and merely running films at 25% auditorium capacity is worse than keeping the cinemas shut.

The attendees at the meet included media CEOs like N.P. Singh of Sony, Sam Balsara (Madison), Megha Tata, (Discovery), Gaurav Gandhi (Amazon Prime), Manish Maheshwari (Twitter), S. Sivakumar (Bennett Coleman and Co Ltd), and K Madhavan, Star & Disney, and also Chairman, CII Media Committee.

The OTT platforms present, including Gandhi of Amazon Prime, did not push back. Some Bollywood producers, notably those of Amitabh Bachchan's Gulabo Sitabo, have posted their movies on OTT, rather than live out the lockdown uncertainty.

Hollywood star Angelina Jolie feels discrimination and impunity cannot be justified in any way, and says she hopes people in the US can come together to "address the deep structural wrongs in our society".

The Oscar-winning star, who turned 45 on Thursday, also donated $200,000 to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, reports people.com.

"Rights don't belong to any one group to give to another. Discrimination and impunity cannot be tolerated, explained away or justified. I hope we can come together as Americans to address the deep structural wrongs in our society," Jolie said.

"I stand with the NAACP Legal Defense Fund in their fight for racial equality, social justice, and their call for urgent legislative reform," she added.

Meanwhile, the actress celebrated her birthday amid lockdown with her six children -- Maddox, 18, Pax, 16, Zahara, 15, Shiloh, 14, and 11-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne.

The actress and activist has been active since the COVID-19 pandemic spread around the world and has donated to different organisations.

Jolie previously donated $1 million to No Kid Hungry, the organisation working to feed children during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I knew that there were problems in America, that there was poverty, but I could not believe when I realised how many school children in America were dependent on a meal to not go hungry. I was so disgusted that we have gotten to this point as a country and that we would let the most vulnerable be in such a state. I can't imagine what it feels like for those parents," she said while opening up about her reason to get associated with the organisation.
