Though these are still rumours, you can see the change in Suzzanne Khan's face esp. her eyes look very doped in all her recent pics. With drugs like Meth and MD becoming common in Mumbai, Suzzanne's drug addiction cannot be ruled out.

On January 21, 2016 the couple officially announced their separation after 16 years of marriage. The couple stated that they had grown apart over the years and therefore mutually and amicably decided to separate. According to DNA Report, Farhan Akhtar's closeness with actress Aditi Rao Hydari was the main reason for his marriage ending in a divorce. Aditi Rao Hydari was Farhan’s co-star in the recently Bollywood thriller Wazir, and the growing closeness between the two caused multiple fights between Farhan and Adhuna. Farhan, who has a reputation of attending parties with Adhuna, turned up alone in his last few social appearances. However, he showed up with Aditi Rao Hydari in a party organised by Karan Johar in early 2016, and managed to grab a few eyeballs. Apparently Adhuna did not approve of this at all and decided to call it quits.

Anurag also had the tendency to get angry about very small things and that over time started affecting his relationship with his wife.
"I used to tell him that the sky won't fall if you switch off your internet for a day. You don't have to argue with every banda on twitter. But he would get sucked into it and waste his energy on that and that would frustrate me. I could see it affect him in everything in his life, be it his work or our relationship. Twitter is just an example, but it could be anyone commenting. We live in an industry where everyone has views and they will judge you without knowing you and that is a frustration you will live with all your life if you don't let go. I too used to get upset, but learnt quickly that you can't get so affected by everything that is said," Kalki had said in an interview to Times Of India.
Anurag and Kalki issued a statement to the media in 2013 which read, "Me and Kalki are separating, we are taking time off from each other to figure things out. We are not divorcing. We request the media to please respect our privacy and give us our space and not speculate. Thank you, Kalki and Anurag."
