Actress Saba Azad recently revealed that she has been admitted to hospital after contracting Cyclospora cayetanensis (found in feces), a parasitic infection. Sharing her experience on Instagram, she explained that Hrithik has been a constant source of encouragement during this difficult period. In her post, Saba uploaded a photo from her hospital bed, flashing a peace sign, and described the toll the illness has taken on her body, “Worst 14 days of my life. Cyclospora cayetanensis, you nasty piece of work! For someone who only ever eats home food, carries her water bottle everywhere, this stomach bug came out of nowhere, that too at the busiest time of the year for me. I have lost four kilos that I didn’t have spare in two weeks and I can barely walk. One day I’m training twice a day, doing pull-ups, lifting heavy, and the next, I’m half my size without strength to lift a goddamn toothpick, leave alone weights. So please, for the love of your gut, wash your salad leaves and veggies like your life depends on it – cause sometimes it really does! Photo by Hrithik who’s kept my very grumpy spirits up and always manages to find humor in the darkest situations.” The couple, who began their relationship in 2022, marked four years together in October 2025.
