# Hrithik Roshan marks 5 years with Saba Azad on Instagram 2026-10-01T08:42:18+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan shared unseen vacation photographs with girlfriend Saba Azad on Instagram on Thursday, 1 October 2026, marking five years of their relationship. In the caption, he wrote, "It's our birthday. HAPPY 5th my love." The post included candid beach and aircraft selfies, offering glimpses into their time away together. Hrithik's ex-wife Sussanne Khan commented on the post, calling it "Soooo sweeet. happy anniversary." Hrithik's mother Pinkie Roshan also wrote, "Happy birthday." Hrithik and Sussanne divorced in 2014 after 14 years of marriage. Hrithik and Saba first sparked dating rumours in 2022 and made their relationship public at Karan Johar's 50th birthday bash. On the work front, Hrithik was last seen in 'War 2' and is set to make his directorial debut with 'Krrish 3'. Saba was last seen in Anurag Kashyap's crime drama 'Bandar'. ## Indian Opinion Analysis All three sources, Times Now, Hindustan Times, and Bollywood Hungama, reported the story as a straight celebrity news item, with uniform neutral framing. Each led with the Instagram post and the five-year milestone, and each included Sussanne Khan's affectionate comment. The only variation was in the amount of relationship backstory: Bollywood Hungama added a line about the couple's 12-year age gap, which the others omitted. The balanced reading is that the coverage is identical wire-style reporting of a feel-good personal milestone, with no ideological or critical slant. The sources agree that Hrithik and Saba first made their relationship public in 2022 after being spotted together at Karan Johar's birthday party. All three sources also note Hrithik's cordial equation with ex-wife Sussanne Khan. ## Coverage Coverage: 3 sources, 3 neutral - timesnownews.com (neutral report) Straightforward celebrity news post, no slant. - hindustantimes.com (neutral report) Standard entertainment reporting, no editorial framing. - bollywoodhungama.com (neutral report) Factual post of social media event, no slant.
