Hrithik Roshan and Saba Azad Romance Timeline: from Early Rumors to Milestone Celebrations
High-profile relationships often elevate an artist's brand visibility. For Azad, it carried an unintended, harsh professional consequence. In mid-2024, Azad published a frank assessment of how her dating life had undercut her livelihood as a top voiceover artist.
For more than two years, work in the voiceover space had dried up completely. When she finally confronted a prominent director about why she was no longer being called for recording sessions, the director admitted they assumed she had stepped away from work after entering a relationship with a high-earning superstar.
“Are we living in the dark ages?” Azad asked publicly, detailing how clients presumed she no longer needed financial compensation simply because her partner was wealthy. The incident laid bare a persistent patriarchal bias within commercial production: male partners are rarely assumed to have abandoned their vocations because of their spouse's wealth, but independent female professionals frequently find their careers discounted.
