Songs of Paradise is receiving widespread acclaim for its poignant storytelling, soul-stirring music, and heartfelt performances. But what has truly elevated the conversation around the film is Hrithik Roshan’s deeply emotional tribute to his girlfriend, Saba Azad, who plays the lead role.
Taking to social media, Hrithik shared a powerful, unfiltered note filled with pride and love, applauding the entire team behind the film and most of all, Saba’s performance as Zeba.
Here’s the full note he wrote: “The genuine praise I'm hearing all around for the makers, technicians and artists associated with Songs Of Paradise is truly heartening.
I watched this movie in its rough form many months ago and I remember being touched to my core. Tears that filled me up with such deep love especially for the character of Zeba.
The humongous applause this movie is getting today has restored my infallible faith in the universe. You get what you deserve.
And you @sabazad for the incredible artiste you are, for the exquisite art you create, deserve all the applause coming your way..
I have seen your struggle, the helplessness, the frustrations, the agony that so many amazing artistes suffer from - of craving the basic right to opportunity that genuine talent deserves in a business that demands "followers" before the "actor".
Which is why today I feel the lightness of unbridled joy watching you get what you deserve. And you my love deserve the world and more.
This performance goes down as my top 10 performances ever.
Rock on baby 🕺💃
My heart is full. I love you ❤️”
The post resonated not only with fans but also with fellow artists, many of whom praised Hrithik’s open and honest expression of love and respect for true talent.
