In the ever-evolving landscape of Bollywood relationships, Hrithik Roshan and Saba Azad's romance stands out as a refreshingly modern and unconventional love story. Their connection, which blossomed in 2022, has captured the attention of fans and media alike, not only for the couple's undeniable chemistry but also for the way they navigate the complexities of fame, age differences, and public scrutiny.
Theirs is a love story that reportedly began on Twitter. Hrithik, known for his appreciation of talent, shared a video featuring Saba, a multi-talented actress and musician, leading to a conversation between the two. This digital connection soon translated into real-life dates, with the couple being spotted together in Mumbai. They confirmed their relationship in February 2022, when they made their first public appearance at a birthday party, walking hand-in-hand.
What makes their relationship particularly endearing is the visible affection and mutual respect they display. Both have shared heartfelt posts on social media, offering glimpses into their life together, including candid selfies, birthday celebrations, vacation snapshots, and affectionate moments. On their fourth anniversary in October 2025, Hrithik and Saba shared unseen, intimate photos on their respective social media accounts, captioned with the same line: "I love walking through life with you… Happy 4th partner".
Despite the public nature of their relationship, Saba has emphasized the normalcy they maintain in their lives. She highlighted the importance of having friends who understand her experiences and help her stay grounded. She also credited her friend and former partner, Imaad Shah, for providing valuable perspective and support during her transition into increased public attention.
Of course, their relationship hasn't been without its challenges. The couple has faced their share of trolling, including age-shaming and scrutiny of Saba's appearance. Saba admitted that it took time to learn how to ignore the trolls. She has also spoken out against the assumption that her relationship with Hrithik negates her professional aspirations. In one instance, she revealed how her voice-over work was affected due to misconceptions that she wouldn't be interested in working anymore because of her relationship with a high-profile actor.
Hrithik, on his part, has been fiercely supportive of Saba, often defending her against negativity. When Saba faced trolling after walking the ramp at a fashion show, Hrithik took to social media to praise her.
As of January 2026, Hrithik is preparing to both direct and star in Krrish 4. Rakesh Roshan revealed that the film is expected to go on floors by mid of next year and should hit the screens in 2027. Saba recently appeared in "Songs of Paradise," which premiered on Amazon Prime Video. She also stars in Anurag Kashyap's film "Bandar," which debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival. Hrithik accompanied her for the world premiere.
Hrithik Roshan and Saba Azad's relationship is a testament to modern love – one that embraces individuality, defies societal norms, and prioritizes mutual respect and support. It is a relationship that continues to evolve, inspiring many with its authenticity and unwavering commitment in the face of constant public attention.
