Actors Saba Azad and Hrithik Roshan aren’t opposed to posting about their personal lives on social media or getting papped together. But the relationship has exposed Azad to a lot of hate comments online. There were rumours that the couple, who reportedly began dating early last year, was planning to tie the knot soon, which also caused her to be trolled.

Sharing how she deals with the hate, Azad said in an interview, “It’s taken me some time to come to a place where I treat everything as white noise because hatred is palpable. I am not made of stone. You feel like sh*t and you wonder, ‘What did I do to you? I am living my life, you live yours’. But you realize you are not responsible for how people think.”

Being a “private person”, the singer-actor had to make “peace” with today’s “scary” paparazzi culture. Speaking to India Today, she said, “I love being at home. It was very daunting in the beginning… However, you understand and empathize that I may not relate to paparazzi culture, but that guy, who is taking a photo, is doing his job. There is some space in the market, which is curious about other people’s lives. He is filling that space. I am existing and doing my job.”
