It’s official: Hrithik Roshan, Saba Azad make first public appearance as couple

After several rumours sparked regarding Hrithik Roshan and Saba Azad’s relationship, the duo finally made their first public appearance as a couple at Karan Johar’s 50th birthday bash. Surrounded by several other big stars, there could have been no better place than KJo’s birthday to make this much awaited announcement as the couple became the centre of attention while posing on the red carpet. With their eyes locked, Saba stunned in a black, satin dress and Hrithik charmed netizens in his classic black suit.

As per NDTV, the two had initially interacted on Twitter when Hrithik shared a post starring his current sweetheart in a video with a rapper, who then responded with a message of gratitude. The two began talking soon after and it was not long before the sparks emerged.

The couple’s relationship prospects had been under constant speculation from Indian tabloids due to various instances of affection on social media and being spotted together on several occasions. While their relationship was confirmed in February, it was not until KJo’s birthday bash when the couple elated fans with their glamorous red carpet appearance.

Saba, a singer who is also known for her 2011 film, Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge, has been spotted at her gig with Hrithik’s ex-wife, Sussane Khan and has spent time with his family as well. The Bollywood actor's uncle and music composer, Rajesh Roshan took to instagram to share a Sunday lunch family photo captioned, “Happiness is always around... Especially on a Sunday, specifically at lunch time,” featuring Hrithik and Saba.

While the couple refrain from giving out any personal details, BollywoodLife cited a source stating the two aimed for a love like Farhan Akhtar and Shebani Dandekar. The duo’s endearing exchanges on Instagram have not gone unnoticed, specifically under Saba’s post promoting her new Indian immigrant drama Minimum, as Hrithik commented with words of encouragement and Saba responded to him as “mon amour”. Such hints of affection have indeed acted as a testament to this new Bollywood love.
