Actress Saba Azad has recently shared a worrying update about her health that has left fans concerned. She revealed that she has been hospitalised after being diagnosed with a rare parasitic infection called Cyclospora cayetanensis. What shocked many people is that Saba follows a very clean lifestyle, eats home cooked meals, and always carries her own water, yet she still fell seriously ill.
In a social media post, Saba described the past two weeks as the worst days of her life. She explained that the infection affected her body so badly that she lost around four kilograms in just fourteen days. She also said that she feels extremely weak and is struggling to even walk properly. Just days before falling sick, she was training hard, working out twice a day, doing pull ups and lifting heavy weights. Now, she says she barely has the strength to do simple things.
She shared a photo from the hospital where she is seen lying on a large bed, trying to stay positive by flashing a peace sign. Despite the tough situation, Saba mentioned that her partner Hrithik Roshan has been a strong support system. She said he has been keeping her spirits up and helping her find humor even during this difficult time.
Saba also used this moment to spread awareness about food safety. She urged everyone to wash fruits and vegetables properly before eating them. She stressed that even small carelessness can lead to serious health issues. She mentioned that she now uses baking soda along with a vegetable wash to clean her food more thoroughly.
Cyclospora cayetanensis is a parasite that spreads through contaminated food and water and causes a stomach infection that can lead to severe weakness and digestive problems. Saba’s experience is a reminder that even people with healthy habits need to stay cautious when it comes to hygiene and food safety.
