Actor-singer Saba Azad received praise for her portrayal of Parvana Irani in the SonyLIV show Rocket Boys, which starred Jim Sarbh and Ishwak Singh in the lead roles. Saba, who will also be seen in the next season of the show, opened up about managing her numerous careers, which include playback singing, performing with her band, and acting. She also plans on directing one day.
Saba also explained the origins of her name to Hindustan Times, saying that she adopted it from her maternal grandmother. “The name on my passport is Saba Grewal – my father is of Sikh origin and my mother of Muslim, but neither practiced religion nor imposed their opinions upon me. They are atheists. Azad was my nani’s pen name. I liked the sound of it and the meaning of course. The want for freedom is the most human instinct. So (with her permission) I adopted it as my stage name,” she said.
Apart from her thriving professional life, Saba has also been in the news owing to her relationship with actor Hrithik Roshan. The couple kept mum about their relationship, though their airport appearances, Instagram banter, and Saba’s presence at Hrithik’s family lunches confirmed the news. Hrithik and Saba made a public appearance together for the first time at Karan Johar’s 50th birthday bash.
