Saba Azad gained widespread recognition following the public revelation of her high-profile romance with superstar Hrithik Roshan, transforming her into a favored subject of paparazzi attention. Unfortunately, this newfound attention also brought a wave of online hate. In a recent interview, Saba candidly discussed her experiences dealing with hateful comments and adapting to the paparazzi culture.
Speaking to India Today, Saba talked about the paparazzi culture and said, "I am a very private person, everyone around me will vouch for it. I barely step out, I love being at home. Hence, it was very daunting in the beginning. It was scary. I won’t lie. I felt exposed in a way I never felt before."

She added, “However, you understand and empathise that I may not relate to paparazzi culture but that guy who is taking a photo is doing his job. There is some space in the market which is curious about other people’s lives. He is filling that space. I am existing and doing my job."

The actress further spoke about the hate she received after her affair with Hrithik was public. "It’s taken me quite sometime to come to a place where I treat everything else as white noise because hatred is palpable. I am not made of stone, it hits you. You feel like sh*t. There are days when you wake up and you wonder ‘what did I do to anyone?’ ‘What did I do to you?’ ‘I am living my life, you live yours’ ‘why are you waiting for my blood?'", she stated.

"But at some point you realise you are not responsible for how people think and what they are projecting on you are what they are going through. It has nothing to do with you. Once you realise that, peace prevails," Saba signs off.
Meanwhile, Saba was recently seen in the lead role in the series 'Who’s Your Gynac'. The actress has been receiving rave reviews for her performance.
