Saba Azad and her ex-boyfriend are close friends
Not every breakup has to end in a bitter silence. Saba Azad and Imaad Shah are examples of the same. The duo parted ways in 2020, and for them, it wasn’t about shutting the door but finding a new way to carry their connection forward. The duo worked on their bond, and instead of being someone they lost as lovers, they became more like a chosen family. Recently, in a conversation, they discussed the same topic.
Imaad Shah opened up about their bond. For the unversed, Saba Azad is now dating actor, Hrithik Roshan and Imaad’s relationship status is not known. Imaad is the son of Naseeruddin Shah and Ratna Pathak. He admitted that the breakup never felt like a dramatic goodbye. He was quoted as saying:
“When we split, many said we shouldn’t meet for a while. But it felt more like an evolution than an ending. By the time it was officially over, there wasn’t much heartache.”
In the same conversation, Saba Azad explained that the affection between them never disappeared. She revealed that their relationship had just transformed into a platonic friendship and shared that Imaad Shah was like a member of her family. She was quoted as saying:
“Unless someone has treated you badly, how do you stop loving them? It transforms into something else — a beautiful, platonic friendship where you always have each other’s back. We were like, to hell with that, it’s our family. There was no way I was going to let Imz out of my life. We were very clear that we’d be friends forever — grow old together as friends.”

The actress added that it was almost as if they had filtered their bond and kept only the good bits. Saba shared that for her, the shift came naturally, as it felt like friendship was a form of family. She stated:
“There was never any weirdness. Not even for a second. It was so natural. Bless everyone with that, may everyone get that.”
