Mumbai, Jan 29 (IANS): Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan, who separated from his wife Sussanne Khan in 2013, says there are "more chances" of him "having had an affair with the Pope" than with the women that the media has been linking him to.

Hrithik was not just linked to Barbara Mori, but also to Kangana Ranaut -- both his co-stars in "Kites".

In a recent interview, Kangana has addressed gossip that it was on Hrithik's insistence that she was dropped from "Aashiqui 3", which now features Sonam Kapoor with the "Dhoom 2" star.

In response to a question on this, the "Queen" actress said: "I don't know why exes do silly things to get your attention. For me that chapter is over and I don't dig graves."

This, by many, is being seen as a confirmation that Hrithik and Kangana were indeed dating. However, the "Jodhaa Akbar" actor has chosen to speak out, and tweeted: "There are more chances of me having had an affair with the Pope than any of the (I'm sure wonderful) women the media has been naming. Thanks, but no thanks."

On the silver screen, Hrithik, is currently prepping for his upcoming epic adventure-romance film "Mohenjo Daro", directed by Ashutosh Gowariker.
