Actor Hrithik Roshan and Sussanne Khan split in 2014, ending their 14 years of marriage. However, the two have always maintained a warm relationship with each other.
Besides co-parenting their two sons Hrehaan, 19, and Hridaan, 17, Hrithik and Sussanne are also good friends. During a session at ET Now Reality Conclave and Awards 2025, the interior designer opened up about their sons’ careers and creating a safe space for them with the actor.
Praising Hrithik’s support in nurturing their sons, she said, “Our children are very artistic. The support of my family and Hrithik as my co-parent is a very big thing to us. Both of us are artistically inclined. Art, culture and heritage of the way we Indians are as people and what we infuse into our children, no matter what relationship we have with our spouses, that’s very important in life.”
During the conversation, Sussanne also talked about her sons and their inclination towards art. “Hridaan is actually an artiste since he was 5 years old. He used to sit on the dining table and draw a room in perspective. I was shocked, I couldn’t understand what this boy was doing. He has got inborn flair for art,” she shared.
The interior designer is a proud mother whose son’s art is actually being bought, without revealing his identity. “In 2020, just out of fun, he was doing a doodle art, he called this The Help series, where he created these animated characters. A friend of mine really put a lot of thought and love, she helped me make all this drawings and sketches into pillow art and canvases,” she said.
Sussanne continued, “We created duffle bags. They are doing so well. We sold so much of it, whatever we got from that, we gave it to a charitable organisation of his choice. It’s been a very heartwarming time for me. People are actually buying his art without knowing that it’s his, and appreciating it. I am a very proud mom, he is now 17, he was only 12 years old when he started. Future is yet to see what he would like to do. My older son is a budding musician. He is studying at Berkelee College of Music.”
She recalled how Ram Charan also admired Hridaan’s work, “Ram Charan walked in one day with a close friend. He was so wonderful. Upasana and him also invited us to their home. There was also a painting of Hridaan’s that he had really liked. I was very touched. People who are so diverse and travelled the world, seen it all, are appreciating what we did. That was something very heartwarming.
