‘Happy 5Th, My Love’: Complete Timeline of Hrithik Roshan and Saba Azad’s Half-Decade Love Story
High-profile associations in the entertainment industry rarely come without cost, but Azad experienced a particularly regressive consequence. In June 2024, she addressed how her visibility as Roshan's partner actively damaged her career as a voiceover artist, a field she had worked in for over fifteen years across hundreds of commercial campaigns.
Azad revealed that studios had simply stopped calling her. When she finally confronted a prominent audio director about the sudden drought, the director admitted to assuming she "wouldn't need the money or the work anymore" because she was dating an elite film star. Azad took to social media to confront the patriarchal mindset head-on: "Are we living in the dark ages? I lost a whole career because people assumed I was set for life."
Her statement sparked overdue conversations within Mumbai media circles. Rather than leaning on her partner's institutional clout, Azad continued touring with her electronic and swing music duo, Madboy/Mink, and pursuing nuanced roles in independent streaming productions like Rocket Boys. Her refusal to quietly absorb professional sidelining demonstrated an insistence on maintaining her individual identity.
