'I Love You': Hrithik Roshan's Poetic Birthday Tribute to Saba Azad
Hrithik Roshan shares a heartfelt, poetic birthday tribute to girlfriend Saba Azad, leaving fans and ex-wife Sussanne Khan swooning.

Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan has left fans swooning after sharing an incredibly romantic and deeply personal birthday wish for his girlfriend, Saba Azad. Taking to Instagram on Sunday, the actor stepped away from his usual polished image to reveal a poetic and vulnerable side, expressing a love that turns even the most boring moments into an adventure.
The 'Long Layover' Metaphor
In a caption that read like a page from a romance novel, Hrithik recounted a conversation where someone asked him about Saba. He initially hesitated, stating that their relationship is "too precious" to discuss openly. However, he eventually shared a unique analogy to describe his feelings for the actress.
Hrithik compared their relationship to choosing a flight from Mumbai to a distant destination. He posed a choice between a direct, efficient flight and a chaotic journey that stops in eight random cities with long transit times and the risk of missing connections.
"I'd pick the 2nd option...deliberately... every single time. Cause with you Sa, every mundane, every wait, every deviation from the normal inevitability turns into a dance of adventures," Hrithik wrote.
The actor concluded his heartfelt note by inviting Saba to continue their journey together, writing, "Let's adventure on my birthday girl. Here's to a lifetime of long layovers together. I love you."
A Celebration of Candid Moments
To accompany the emotional text, the Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai star posted a series of candid photographs and videos. These glimpses into their private life captured cherished moments the couple has shared over the last few years, showcasing a side of the actor rarely seen by the public.
Heartwarming Reactions from Inner Circle
The post quickly became a hub for love and positivity, garnering thousands of likes. Notably, Hrithik's ex-wife, Sussanne Khan, showed her support for the couple, commenting, "Happyyyyy birthday Saboo.. have a beautiful precious year." Another close associate, Shibani Akhtar, also joined in the celebrations, wishing Saba a happy birthday.
