Exclusive: All not well with Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani?
Farhan Akhtar seems to be having quite the roller coaster ride, as far as his personal life is concerned.
Farhan Akhtar seems to be having quite the roller coaster ride, as far as his personal life is concerned. While he was constantly in the news about his alleged affairs with actresses Kalki Koechlin and Aditi Rao Hydari in the recent past, all doesn’t seem to be well between him and his business partner Ritesh Sidhwani, either. When the co-producers’ Shah Rukh Khan starrer Raees released last month, Farhan refrained from aggressively promoting the movie, while Ritesh even accompanied the film’s star cast on city tours.
The duo was last seen promoting Rock On 2 together, their joint venture. Farhan reportedly lent his support as he was also the lead actor of the movie. Says a source close to them, “The two are still friends and share a good rapport, but there were creative differences between them recently, and hence Farhan kept himself away from the promotions.” The two have been thick since they founded Excel Entertainment nearly two decades ago.
After separating from his wife Adhuna Akhtar and being in the news for his alleged affairs with co-stars, Farhan has also been seen abstaining from the media glare. That only seems to have bolstered his decision to remain absent from his movie promotions.
