Saba on social media trolling
Saba admitted that she is “quite terrible” with social media, saying, “I post for three days in a row and then I disappear for a month. In a way, for performing artists, it has become a sort of portfolio. It’s a ‘can’t live with, can’t live without’ kind of relationship. It is a means to earn a living through brands and ads. Outside of that, as the dissatisfaction of the population rises, so does this kind of behaviour online. If you are a happy person, you won’t make fake accounts and troll people. Why would I care about someone from back and beyond, who is faceless, nameless, and frustrated with their life?”
She further added that she has now developed a thick skin after facing constant trolling, saying, “Instead of being angry about it, another way of looking at it is, ‘I am sad that you have to do this.’ In the beginning, I thought, if I am minding my own business, why do you care? But then, as I wrapped my head around it, I realised this is just sad, and it’s not worth losing sleep over. Now, I have developed a thick skin. I may have turned the other cheek for a long time, but once in a while, I feel that I still have some bite. You can’t keep coming at me and expect me to stay silent. I don’t care what such people say now.”
When Saba hit back at a troll
Hrithik Roshan and Saba Azad began dating in 2022 and made their relationship Instagram official in October 2022 after Hrithik shared a picture with Saba. Since then, she has faced trolling for being his girlfriend. Recently, when the teaser of the second season of her show Who’s Your Gynac? was released, the actor took to her Instagram Stories to share how someone had commented that she didn’t need to work as she is the ‘Greek God’s girlfriend’.
Replying to the troll, she wrote, “Ok Sumit ji, uncle ji!! Maybe in your world, when people fall in love, they become incapacitated, landlords stop asking for rent, and the need to put food on one’s own table magically evaporates!! Wah!!”
