Sharing an update on Instagram, Saba mentioned that despite these challenging times, her boyfriend Hrithik Roshan has been helping her stay positive.

Saba Azad Hospitalised For Parasitic Infection Cyclospora Cayetanensis
In her post, Saba shared a photo of herself lying in a hospital bed, making a peace sign. She described the past 14 days as the worst of her life, writing, “Worst 14 days of my life. Cyclospora cayetanensis, you nasty piece of work!! For someone who only ever eats home food and carries her water bottle everywhere, this bug came out of nowhere — right at the busiest time of my year.”
She added, “I’ve lost 4 kgs 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 and lifting heavy; the next, I’m half my size, with no strength to lift even a toothpick, let alone weights.”
Saba urged everyone to be cautious and wash their fruits and vegetables thoroughly. “So please, for the love of your gut, wash your salad leaves and veggies like your life depends on it — because sometimes, it really does! Our new method is using baking soda veggie wash (Herbal Strategi has a good one),” she added.
Saba Thanks Hrithik For His Support
Saba also appreciated Hrithik’s sense of humour, even in tough moments. “@hrithikroshan has kept my very grumpy spirits 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,” she concluded.
Cyclospora cayetanensis is a protozoan parasite that causes cyclosporiasis. It is a diarrheal illness transmitted through contaminated food and water.
