Rakesh, talking fondly about his former daughter-in-law, said, “Sussanne is a really nice girl and I have nothing against her. Whatever happened between Hrithik and her is their kismat. You can't change destiny. I must say that they are shouldering their parenting responsibilities well. Hrehaan and Hridhaan have lunch with the entire family almost every Sunday. It's a family ritual. Sanskaar maa baap se aate hain. Children observe everything - how their parents are with each other, do they respect each other, are they warm towards elders in the family and so on. Hrithik and Sussanne are respectful of each other and their families, which their children have also imbibed. For instance, touching an elder's feet is something they have learnt from Hrithik and Sussanne appreciates that, too. Also, Hrithik is a guy who doesn't hurt anyone and that's why everything around him is so positive.“
