The internet is abuzz with Hrithik Roshan’s new mystery woman, with whom he was spotted exiting a popular eatery hand-in-hand. Now, the woman has been identified as Saba Azad, lead singer of the band Madboy/Mink, she’s also acted in quite a few Bollywood movies.
Hrithik and Saba have been dating for a couple of months
Those close to Hrithik have been aware of his new lady love, as the couple have been dating for a few months now. A source told Mid-Day, “Their friendship has blossomed into something really special. Last month, the two winged their way to Goa for some quiet moments.”
Saba was previously in a relationship with her Madboy/Mink band member Imaad Shah, and was reportedly living with him. Fans were quick to raise eyebrows over Hrithik and Saba’s age gap, as she is reportedly eighteen years younger than Hrithik.
ET Times got in touch with Saba to confirm if the two were dating, but she promptly put the phone down, saying that she would get back to them. While there’s no confirmation, there’s no denial either.
Is this Hrithik’s first major relationship after the divorce?
Hrithik hasn’t publicly been in a relationship since his divorce from Sussane Khan back in 2014. The couple parted ways amicably and both co-parent their two sons, Hridhaan and Hrehaan.
Recently, Sussane has been making more public appearances with her new boyfriend Aly Gony. While they haven’t officially confirmed their relationship, they have been making appearances on each other’s Instagram feeds.
In an interview with a leading men’s magazine, Hrithik had opened up about Sussane always being a part of his life saying, “It’s a beautiful relationship. With our kids, with us as friends, it’s all about wisdom. One thing is for sure: Love can’t turn into hate. If it’s hate, it isn’t love. The flipside of love… Is also love. Once you understand that, you’ll keep finding ways back into love.”
Papa Roshan has hope
In an interview, Hrithik’s dad Rakesh Roshan was asked if Hrithik and Sussane are benchmarks for those who are friends with their exes.
He said, “Yes indeed. Right after their divorce in court, Hrithik stepped out and opened the door of the car for Sussanne. That shows his character. Nobody can teach you these things. It comes from within. He regards women and everyone else with respect. Like he touches my feet. And so do my grandchildren Hridaan and Hrehaan. You do these things instinctively.”
On being asked about Hrithik’s future, he said, “Whatever is written in his destiny will happen. My wish doesn’t make any difference. Jo hoga woh hoga… aur achha hi hoga. I just want to say Hrithik should remain what he is.”
Watch this space for more updates, we doubt this will be the last we will see of the couple!
