Sussanne, Hrithik Roshan, Arjun Rampal lambast leading daily over false news

The aforementioned report, apparently, had more details on the Arjun – Sussanne relationship.

This all came after when the protagonists of this whole story had denied the claims, time and again. Mehr had also gone ahead to denigrate all the charges made against them and said that it was all but a hogwash.

To some it may sound like any other ‘filmy gossip’, but if we run deep, it involves two families altogether. Arjun and Hrithik, thereby, have not taken this lightly and have lambasted the reports in series of tweets.

Hrithik Roshan, who recently got divorced from Sussanne, took to Twitter in support of his wife.

If u people knew hw much false news is printed, d papers wud actually stop selling. I am disgusted 2day..

Arjun Rampal too tweeted in support of his wife Mehr and good friend Sussanne.

Bombay Times, who paid you? Who are these faceless accusers? If you have the guts reveal them first. Stay away from me and my family.

The actor later retweeted tweets that were in his favour and bashed the news portal.

The person in the mid of this whole issue, Sussanne Khan, found a better way to speak up for herself. She released a press note clarifying her stand. Her press note read:

“It is with great disappointment I have read Meena Iyer’s article today, titled, “Is Arjun to blame for the Mehr-Sussanne friendship taking a severe beating.”

This piece is an example of speculation and rumor mongering. Not the slightest effort was made to reach me to ask for my inputs into an article that deals with my life.

Arjun and Mehr are friends and have been for years. To poison a relationship such as this is malicious behavior. I have, with Mehr, earlier stated in the same paper that there is no truth to the claim that Arjun and I are anything more than friends.

I have begun a new phase in my life with hopes and expectations. As I work to establish and grow my work I am fully concentrated on my career. Today, my time and energy is completely consumed by my children and my work. My family, who have been beyond supportive, are now the foundation of my life.

I never was and am not an idle Bollywood wife who has all the time in the world to spread canards and lies that damage relationships and lives.

My heart goes out to Arjun and Mehr who are needlessly being drawn into this. I appeal to all responsible members of the press to look at this in a fair manner.

I have emerged stronger and focused and I pray that better judgment prevails in all those who wish to create a scandal where there is none.”

Hrithik, Arjun and Sussanne have put their point and the case is rested from their side. Now the joke is on us, the Entertainment Media, we guess. In a no-holds-barred news and gossip world, do we sometimes over-do our journalism? We need to think.
