Saba Azad

Saba Azad has carved out a wonderfully unconventional career path in Indian entertainment since her 2008 debut in the indie film Dil Kabaddi. While she gained solid recognition for her leading role in the quirky romantic comedy Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge, she's never been the type to chase just one thing—she's juggled acting, music, theatre direction, and voice work with impressive versatility. Her work spans web series like Ladies Room to collaborations that showcase her range beyond typical Bollywood fare, proving she's always been more interested in interesting projects than just blockbuster status. What really sets Saba apart is her distinctly indie sensibility and her refusal to fit into a box. She's one half of Madboy/Mink, an electronic music duo that's brought experimental sounds to Mumbai's music scene, and her theatre background gives her a different approach to character work compared to many of her peers. Her recent resurgence in the spotlight—particularly with her high-profile relationship with Hrithik Roshan—has introduced her to a wider audience, but those who've followed her career know she's been quietly delivering nuanced performances in unconventional projects all along. She represents a breed of Bollywood talent that values creative fulfillment over commercial calculation.
