Who Is Hrithik Roshan’s ‘Mystery Girl’?

It is one of those ironies of  our  social-media  era that Saba Azad is being noticed now only after she  was  spotted out on  a date with  Hrithik Roshan on Saturday  evening.

Saba Azad’s claim  to fame  goes  much deeper and much  further than her love life, She is the  niece  of the legendary activist and street-theatre performer Safdar Hashmi. Saba herself has spent many years  doing  serious theatre. She is  also trained   in  several Indian and international dance forms.

A  veteran  theatre-cinema actress describes  Saba as “over-qualified” for  mainstream Hindi cinema. Saba’s tryst with  film acting has been pretty  underwhelming  so far.

Saba was in a   long relationship with Naseeruddin Shah’s  elder son Imaad and the two had formed a  music  band called  Madboy Mink.

About the  speculation regarding her relationship with Roshan,a source very close to the Roshans  tells me it is  too early  to comment. “Duggu and Saba like each other’s company.  But they’ve barely met  2-3 times.To call it  a  relationship  would be premature. Duggu has not been in one(a relationship)  since  his marriage  to Sussanne  ended. He had decided that  if and when he does  get into another relationship it shall not  be frivolous  and  his sons  would have  to approve.”

Apparently Saba ticks  the boxes.
