Actress Saba Azad, often seen hand-in-hand with Hrithik Roshan, is sharing some surprising news. While her romance with Hrithik keeps fans talking, Saba recently spoke about another very special person in her life: her ex-boyfriend, Imaad Shah. She shared that they still have a deep and meaningful bond.
Saba and Hrithik are quite the pair in the entertainment world, always supporting each other. Yet, Saba, who just appeared in the film ‘Songs of Paradise,’ opened up about her ongoing friendship with Imaad. She even explained why their romantic relationship ended and how they remain such good friends.
The Kind of Friend Everyone Needs
In a chat with The Hollywood Reporter India, Saba detailed her unique friendship with Imaad. She explained their breakup wasn’t about a lack of love. “Imaad and I have no reason to stop loving each other,” she said. “Now, we’re probably closer than ever before.” She called Imaad the “gentlest and calmest person” she knows. Saba describes herself as someone who gets quite stressed. Imaad helps her stay balanced. She believes everyone needs a best friend who brings a peaceful energy into their life.
Friendship Outlasts Romance
Talking about their split, Saba didn’t see it as a loss. “When you truly love someone once, how can you ever stop loving them?” she asked. “Perhaps your love simply changes.” It might shift from romantic love into a beautiful friendship instead. She finds this kind of friendship much more secure than a romantic bond. There is no fear of losing it. This deep friendship truly lasts a long time and feels like family to her.
Growing Up Together
Saba shared that she and Imaad have grown up side-by-side. She even said they will grow old together. They first met during auditions for the film ‘Delhi Belly.’ Their friendship really started to bloom when Saba was preparing for a play and thought of casting Imaad. They also share a musical passion. The two have a band and continue to perform together. Saba stated clearly that she can’t imagine her life without him in it.
