Saba Azad confesses she lost voice-over jobs after dating Hrithik Roshan; slams the patriarchal mindset of directors

Actor Saba Azad recently took to her Instagram stories and dropped a series of statements, confessing how she lost voice-over jobs after dating actor Hrithik Roshan. Saba who is known as a voice-over artist mentioned that she didn’t have a job for almost 2 years as people assumed she wouldn’t do such jobs after dating Hrithik. She took this moment and slammed the patriarchal and regressive mindset of people who think she will not work after dating a successful partner.

Saba Azad mentioned that two individuals come together in a place of freedom and strength. She mentioned that she still needs to bring food to her table and pay her bills and feels bad when people make archaic assumptions on her career. To make her point, she continued to share some commercial ads where she has lent her voice.

Saba Azad slams the patriarchal mindset of directors

One of the notes read, “It is important for me to share that this person is amazing, he is one of the best directors in the business, super progressive and chill and just like the kind of peeps I like to hang with so this is the last thing I expected him to say. In short, he said he didn’t think I would do a job like a VO given where you are in life. That is who I am dating.“

“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 cause people thought I don’t need to work anymore! This is sadly a one-dimensional patriarchal and regressive mindset,” the Rocket Boys actor wrote.

“For the uninitiated, when two strong independent individuals come together they don’t give up their identities or their lives and careers to do so. They hold on to their individuality and share from a place of freedom and strength. I still gotta put food on my table you guys. So losing a whole career because of someone else’s presumptuous ignorance really hurts. So again, no I haven’t quit all ye makers of ads. I still do VOs so please for the love of god undo your assumptions and let’s get recording already!” Saba concluded her note.
