Suddenly Hrithik and Sussanne are in the news every other day. If not for walking the ramp abroad at a film awards night together, then for lovingly fooling at the rehearsals of Farah Khan’s jewellery line show. And if not that, then for presenting the picture of perfect matrimony at the launch of a company that plans weddings! But Bollywood cannot be fooled !This, say some is an eye wash for the public, which has been appalled by Hrithik’s very apparent closeness to Mexican actress and Kites co-star Barbara Mori. Unable to take the gossip of a torrid relationship between them, Sussanne is believed to have read Hrithik the riot act. She also began to accompany him to public events to show the world that they ate a couple.
Talking about the ramp show, Sussanne said, somewhat defensively, ” I wouldn’t have done something like this in Mumbai, but Hrithik was very excited. We havent’ done anything like this before.” Now, was this an effort to confirm their bond and convince the world that everything is fine? ” I may not be an actress, but I have a filmi background, and I’m aware how people put two and two together,” Sussanne shot back. But not even Sussanne can deny that on-screen at least, sparks did fly between Hrithik and Barbara. However, Sussanne does feel that rumours of a romance between the co-stars were fabricated. ” There’s nothing between them that would distract or disturb me. I understand that if a man works with a good looking girl, he is bound to get linked to her,” she said. And as for the chemistry, Sussanne agreed, ” obviously there’s chemistry because it is a love story. It looks real, but that’s how films internationally are supposed to be. Its good for the film , and we all want it to work.”
