Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan took to social media on November 1 to share a heartfelt birthday tribute to his girlfriend, Saba Azad, as she turned 40. The post, which was shared on Instagram, offered fans a rare glimpse into the couple's relationship through an elaborate travel analogy, highlighting the depth of their bond. Roshan described his feelings for Azad in a metaphorical way, choosing to compare their time together to a long-haul journey rather than a swift, direct route.
In the detailed post, the actor explained that when someone had asked him about his partner, he initially found it difficult to put his feelings into words because he considered their bond too precious to trivialise. Eventually, he decided to describe their dynamic through the lens of flight logistics. He presented the hypothetical scenario of choosing between two flight options from Mumbai to a distant destination. The first option, he noted, would be a direct flight—efficient, straightforward, and easy. However, he contrasted this with a second option, which involved an arduous journey with eight different layovers in various cities, marked by hours of waiting and the constant risk of missing connections.
Roshan revealed his clear preference for the latter, telling his followers, "If it was with her... I said, I’d pick the 2nd option... deliberately... every single time." He concluded the tribute by expressing his excitement for a "lifetime of long layovers" with Azad, punctuating the message with an affectionate, "I love you. Happy Birthday." The post served as a public acknowledgement of their enduring partnership, which has now reached the five-year mark, following their anniversary celebration earlier this year on October 1.
The social media update was accompanied by a collection of personal media, starting with a close-up photograph of Azad. The carousel of images and clips included a playful video of her, a boomerang of the couple, and several candid, cheerful shots documenting their time together. Notably, the final slide featured a portrait of Azad smiling alongside Roshan's two sons, Hrehaan and Hridaan, whom he shares with his former wife, Sussanne Khan, underscoring the integration of their personal lives.
The couple has been known to be open about their affection, frequently sharing glimpses of their life together with their followers. Since they began their relationship, they have remained a significant subject of public and media interest within the Indian entertainment industry, particularly as they continue to share major milestones publicly. This latest gesture of appreciation arrives during a busy period for Roshan, both professionally and personally.
On the career front, Hrithik Roshan has maintained a steady presence in major cinematic projects. He was recently seen in a special appearance in the successful film 'Jailer 2', directed by Nelson Dilipkumar. Prior to that engagement, he made a cameo appearance in the film 'Alpha', which featured an ensemble cast including Alia Bhatt, Sharvari, and Bobby Deol. Furthermore, he recently featured in 'War 2' alongside Jr NTR and Kiara Advani. Looking ahead, Roshan has significant plans for his future filmography, as he is set to both direct and star in the upcoming instalment of the popular franchise, 'Krrish 4'.
