Actor Saba Azad has been hospitalised after being diagnosed with the parasite Cyclospora cayetanensis. Taking to Instagram on Friday, she shared a photo of herself lying in a large hospital bed, looking visibly frail, and described the ordeal as the “worst 14 days” of her life. She also mentioned that Hrithik Roshan has been a constant source of support during this time.Posting the picture, Saba wrote, “Worst 14 days of my life. Cyclospora cayetanensis you nasty piece of work!! For somone who only ever eats home food, carries her water bottle everywhere, this bug came outa nowhere, that too at the busiest time of the year for me. Iv lost 4 kgs that I didn’t have spare in two weeks and I can barely walk.”She further shared how the illness drastically affected her physical strength. “One day im training twice a day, doing pull-ups, lifting heavy and the next im half my size, without strength to lift a goddamn toothpick leave alone weights. So pls for the love of your gut wash your salad leaves and veg like your life depends on it - cause sometimes it really does!! Our new method is Baking soda + veggie wash (Herbal Strategi has a good one),” wrote Saba.Concluding her note, she credited Hrithik for lifting her spirits, “(camera emoji) by @hrithikroshan who’s kept my very grumpy sprits up and always manages to find humour in the darnest situations. PS - I haven’t shrunk quite as much as it may seem here, the bed is supersized and the angle is wide.” Hrithik was previously married to Sussanne Khan from 2000 to 2014. They have two sons, Hrehaan and Hridhaan, born in 2006 and 2008. They separated in 2013, with their divorce finalised a year later, and have since maintained an amicable relationship while co-parenting.Hrithik and Saba began dating in 2022 and celebrated four years together in October 2025. Their relationship became public after they were spotted together at dinner outings and at Karan Johar’s 50th birthday celebration.
