Saba Azad, the actress and voiceover artist who has lent her voice to several advertisements, in a series of Instagram Stories, shared that it has been years since she got an opportunity to do voiceovers. The reason shockingly being her relationship with Hrithik Roshan. Saba posted a picture of herself in a recording studio and revealed that she was finally back to doing voice-overs after almost two and a half years. She recalled how, at one point in time, she would do six to seven voice-overs in a month.

Saba revealed that she only found out the reason when she met with a director she used to work with regularly and he told her that he thought she wouldn’t be interested in something like a voiceover, given that she is in a relationship with Hrithik. Saba didn’t mince her words as she continued, “Are we really still living in the dark ages where we assume a woman in a relationship with a successful partner no longer has to put food on her own table? Or pay her rent and bills? Or take pride in her work and take care of herself and her family? What kind of an archaic assumption to make! So, I basically lost a whole career that I absolutely loved and appreciated because people thought I didn't need to work anymore? This is sadly a one-dimensional, patriarchal, and regressive mindset.”
