Saba Azad Hospitalised With Parasitic Infection, Credits Hrithik Roshan for Keeping Her Going

Actor Saba Azad has been hospitalised after being diagnosed with Cyclospora cayetanensis infection, a parasitic illness that significantly impacted her health over the past two weeks. Sharing her experience on social media, Saba described the period as one of the most difficult phases she has faced, detailing the physical toll and sudden onset of the infection despite maintaining careful dietary habits.

In her post, Saba revealed that she lost around four kilograms within a span of two weeks and experienced severe weakness, making it difficult for her to carry out even basic physical activities. She explained how the illness disrupted her routine drastically, noting that she went from being physically active—training regularly and lifting weights—to struggling with minimal strength during recovery.

The actor expressed surprise at contracting the infection despite taking precautions such as consuming home-cooked meals and carrying her own drinking water. Cyclospora cayetanensis infection is caused by a protozoan parasite that spreads through contaminated food and water, often leading to gastrointestinal illness and dehydration, which can weaken the body significantly if not treated promptly.

Saba also used the opportunity to raise awareness about food hygiene, urging people to wash fruits and vegetables thoroughly before consumption. She suggested using methods such as baking soda-based vegetable washes to reduce the risk of contamination, emphasising that such precautions can be crucial in preventing similar infections.

Amid the challenging period, Saba credited her partner Hrithik Roshan for providing emotional support and keeping her spirits high. She mentioned that his ability to find humour even in difficult situations helped her cope with the stress and discomfort of the illness, offering a sense of positivity during recovery.

Saba’s experience has drawn attention to the importance of food safety and early medical care, while also highlighting how sudden health issues can affect even those who follow disciplined lifestyles. As she continues to recover, her candid account has resonated with fans, combining awareness with a personal glimpse into her health journey.
