When the news broke yesterday that Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor would be starring in a film together after a decade, quite a few eyebrows were raised, given the rumours that used to do the rounds about them being in a relationship. Many expected that Hrithik’s wife, Sussanne, would be upset with the development… however, we’re told otherwise.
We hear that Sussanne was kept in the loop from the very beginning. When Karan Johar began considering Kareena for the role, one of the first people he spoke to was Sussanne. Given Hrithik-Kareena’s alleged history and the fact that they had avoided working together for so many years, KJo thought it imperative that he be sensitive about the situation.
So it seems that, only once Sussanne had given the green light, Kareena’s name was finalised for Shuddhi.
