"There are days when you wake up and you wonder what did I do to anyone? What did I do to you? I am living my life, you live yours? Why are you waiting for my blood?"

Saba Azad has appeared in films such as Dil Kabaddi and the 2011 movie Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge. She was also part of the Netflix anthology Feels Like Ishq and the web series Rocket Boys 2. Recently, she featured in the series Who's Your Gynac?, which received praise from Hrithik Roshan.
