Actor Hrithik Roshan's ex-wife Sussane Khan’s sister, jewellery designer Farah Khan Ali has taken to social media to announce her separation from husband, DJ Aqeel after 22 years of marriage. In a lengthy post, she spoke about how two people grow apart at times and that there is no bad blood between them. The statement read, "Sometimes two people grow apart. Sometimes they outgrow each other. It has been 9 years since my relationship with my husband Aqeel changed its status as a couple to just friends and to term it simply would be to state that we are “Happily Separated”."
"We will always be best friends to each other and parents to our wonderful children Azaan and Fizaa who love us both equally yet accept that we cannot be a couple any longer. This was a mutual decision we took together involving two adults and there wasn’t any third person involved. The reason we are announcing it publicly now, is so that the ones who know us accept our situation gracefully and always wish well for both of us especially because we hold no animosity of any kind towards one another and will always be there for each other," it further read. "Aqeel is and will always be my family as I will be his. We hope that all our well-wishers will accept our decision maturely and not judge us for it. It’s important to be happy and we all, Aqeel and I including our children and families most definitely are. That’s all that matters. Grateful and happy for everything in my life," she concluded her post. Farah, 51, and Aqeel, best known for “Shake It Daddy Mix” and “Tu Hai Wahi” remix, tied the knot in 1999. They are parents to son Azaan, 18, and daughter Fizaa, 15. Farah, is the daughter of veteran actor Sanjay Khan and sister of actor Zayed Khan.
