It is one of those ironies of
our social-media era that
Saba Azad is being noticed
only now after she was spotted out on a date with Hrithik
Roshan on Saturday evening.
Saba Azad's claim to fame goes much deeper and much further than
her love life. She is the niece of the
legendary activist and street-theatre performer Safdar Hashmi. Saba
herself has spent many years doing
serious theatre. She is also trained
in several Indian and international
dance forms
A veteran theatre-cinema actress describes Saba as "over-qualified" for mainstream Hindi cinema. Saba's tryst with film acting has
been pretty underwhelming so far.Saba was in a long relationship
with Naseeruddin Shah's elder son
Imaad and the two had formed a
music band called Madboy Mink.
About the speculation regarding her relationship with Roshan,
a source very close to the Roshans tells me it is too early to comment.
"Duggu and Saba like each other's
company. But they've barely met
2-3 times. To call it a relationship
would be premature. Duggu has not
been in one(a relationship) since
his marriage to Sussanne ended. He
had decided that if and when he
does get into another relationship
it shall not be frivolous and his
sons would have to approve." Apparently, Saba ticks the boxes.
