Saba Azad Speaks Out About Losing Voiceover Jobs Over Dating Hrithik Roshan

Yesterday, Saba Azad shared on Instagram that she's finally landed a voiceover gig after a two-year break. What came after was a series of stories disclosing Bollywood’s ‘archaic assumption’ that somehow, because a woman is dating a rich and successful man, she no longer needs to earn money for herself.

Despite never announcing a career change or altering her fees, Saba hadn’t been called for voiceover jobs in over two years. When she asked a director she used to work with regularly about this, he implied that the industry assumed she wouldn’t want to work as a voiceover artist anymore because she was dating Hrithik Roshan, a well-known and successful actor.

Saba Azad’s Decade-Old Career Diminished Due To A Relationship  

Saba Azad has been a voiceover artist for over a decade, with a career and identity independent of her dating life. It's disheartening to think that her relationship with a successful man could overshadow her hard-earned career. Saba has spent years building her reputation and honing her skills, and her personal life should have no bearing on her professional achievements.

Is The Bollywood Industry Living In The 80’s?

Saba revealed that the director who explained why she wasn't getting jobs was considered 'super progressive and chill.' This shows that even those with supposedly modern views can harbour deeply ingrained regressive mindsets. It makes us question whether Bollywood is still stuck in the dark ages with such outdated beliefs.
