Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan has always been in the spotlight—first for his blockbuster movies, then for his marriage to interior designer Sussanne Khan in December 2000. The couple’s decision to end their marriage surprised many fans, and their divorce was officially settled in 2024. While Hrithik and Sussanne remain friendly co-parents to their sons, Hrehaan and Hridhaan, the actor’s personal life after the split has created a steady stream of headlines.
One widely reported chapter in this post-divorce saga involves Hrithik’s alleged relationship with actress Kangana Ranaut. Their reported fallout dominated entertainment news, and it often seemed as though every new detail sparked a fresh controversy. Yet there was another rumored romance—quieter, shorter, but equally intriguing—that linked Hrithik Roshan with Shweta Bachchan, daughter of Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan.
How the Rumors Began
Shweta Bachchan has led a largely private life despite belonging to India’s most famous film family. She married Delhi-based businessman Nikhil Nanda in 1997, and the couple share two children, Navya Naveli Nanda and Agastya Nanda. After spending many years in the capital, Shweta reportedly returned to Mumbai to live with her parents. Gossip columns quickly speculated that trouble in her marriage might be the reason.
Hrithik and Shweta have known each other for years, thanks in part to Hrithik’s close friendship with Shweta’s brother, actor Abhishek Bachchan. According to several entertainment portals, their friendship got a fresh boost when they met again at actor Kunal Kapoor’s wedding. Sources suggested that, after Hrithik’s divorce, the two bonded over shared experiences and family ties—fueling whispers that the relationship had become romantic.
The Kangana Ranaut Link
Reports also claimed that Hrithik’s growing closeness to Shweta was one reason he chose to distance himself from Kangana Ranaut. Around the same period, Kangana publicly leveled several serious allegations against him. The controversy became one of the most talked-about scandals in recent Bollywood history, and Hrithik appeared eager to keep any new relationship out of the limelight.
Why the Alleged Affair Faded
Even if Hrithik Roshan and Shweta Bachchan did enjoy a brief romance, insiders say multiple complications kept the pair from taking things further. First, Shweta reportedly valued her reputation and did not want her name involved in a messy public scandal. Second, she shared a warm friendship with Hrithik’s ex-wife Sussanne Khan. Growing closer to Hrithik might have strained that bond. Faced with these pressures, the rumored couple apparently decided it was wiser to go their separate ways.
Where They Stand Today
Fast-forward to 2025, and both stars seem happy on their own paths. Hrithik Roshan is in a steady relationship with singer-actress Saba Azad. Shweta Bachchan, meanwhile, continues to focus on her writing, fashion collaborations, and her role as a supportive mother and daughter within the Bachchan family.
Final Thoughts
While neither Hrithik Roshan nor Shweta Bachchan has ever confirmed the romance, the story still fascinates Bollywood watchers. It blends star power, family legacies, and the delicate balance between friendship and love. Whether fact or fiction, the rumored bond reminds fans that behind the flashing cameras, celebrities navigate relationships with the same hopes, fears, and complications as anyone else.
