Inside Hrithik Roshan and Saba Azad’s 5-Year Journey: Age Gap and Public Moments
A persistent risk for any artist dating a generational superstar is having their professional identity absorbed by celebrity association. Azad confronted this issue directly. Best known for portraying attorney Parvana Irani in the critically lauded show Rocket Boys, she has worked diligently to keep her stage career, voice work, and screen roles separate from Roshan’s sphere.
During several media panels, Azad spoke candidly about the biases within commercial cinema casting, pointing out that female artists are frequently presumed to step back from independent projects when tied to prominent leading men. Her refusal to compromise her artistic identity, continuing to tour small independent music venues with Madboy/Mink and headlining character-driven pieces, has anchored their relationship in equal status. Roshan frequently acts as her enthusiastic supporter, championing her concerts from venue floors rather than VIP booths.
