Frustrated Individuals Without Identity
New Delhi:
Saba Azad and Hrithik Roshan have become one of the most beloved couples in Bollywood, but their relationship has not been without its challenges. Saba has often been the target of online trolling for dating the superstar, but she has now revealed that she has developed a “thick skin” and is no longer bothered by negative comments.
Developing Resilience
In a recent interview with SCREEN, Saba Azad opened up about how she has learned to cope with online trolling. She shared, “As the dissatisfaction of the population rises, so does this kind of behaviour online. If you are a happy person, you won’t make fake accounts and troll people. Why would I care about someone from back and beyond, who is faceless, nameless, and frustrated with their lives?”
Initially, the negative comments used to affect Saba, but she has now reached a point where she no longer lets them bother her. She explained, “In the beginning, I was like if I am minding my own business, why do you care? But then, as I wrap my head around it, this is just sad and it’s not worth losing sleep over. Now, I have developed a thick skin for it. I may have turned the other cheek for a long time, but once in a while, I feel that I still have some bite. You can’t keep coming at me and expect me to stay mum. I don’t care what such people say now.”
Struggles with Social Media
Despite being in the public eye, Saba Azad admitted that she is not a fan of social media. She confessed, “I am quite terrible with social media. I post for three days in a row and then I disappear for a month. In a way, for performing artists, it has become sort of a portfolio. It’s a ‘Can’t live with, can’t live without’ kind of relationship. It is a means to earn a living with brands and ads.”
Public Relationship
Hrithik Roshan and Saba Azad confirmed their relationship in 2022 when they made a public appearance together at Karan Johar’s 50th birthday party. Prior to dating Saba, Hrithik was married to Sussanne Khan, with whom he shares two sons, Hrehaan and Hridaan Roshan.
Despite the challenges they face as a high-profile couple, Saba and Hrithik continue to support each other and focus on their relationship. Saba’s resilience in the face of online trolling serves as a reminder that love and positivity can triumph over negativity in the virtual world.
