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 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.
