The upcoming film "Songs of Paradise," starring Saba Azad and Soni Razdan, has garnered attention and support from various corners, including Hrithik Roshan's family. Pashmina Roshan, Hrithik's cousin, has expressed her admiration and affection for Saba and her work in the film.
"Songs of Paradise" is inspired by the life of Padma Shri recipient Raj Begum, the first female voice of Radio Kashmir, also known as the "Melody Queen of Kashmir". The film, directed by Danish Renzu, tells the story of Raj Begum's journey, her music, and her resilience during a time when societal restrictions confined women. It highlights her courage to dream and her impact on inspiring generations of women in Kashmir. Saba Azad and Soni Razdan portray Noor Begum, the character inspired by Raj Begum, in two different time periods of her life. The film also stars Zain Khan Durrani, Sheeba Chaddha, Taaruk Raina, and Lillete Dubey. "Songs of Paradise" is scheduled to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on August 29, 2025.

She has mentioned that she is grateful to have Saba in her life, highlighting Saba's non-judgmental nature and supportive presence. Pashmina has also expressed that she sometimes forgets that Saba is her brother's girlfriend, considering her a close friend and sister.
In an earlier instance, Pashmina lauded Saba's performance in the comedy-drama series "Who's Your Gynac?". She praised Saba's honest and vulnerable portrayal of her character, Dr. Vidhushi Kothari. Saba, in turn, has also shown support for Pashmina, particularly for her Bollywood debut in "Ishq Vishk Rebound". She shared a video of Pashmina's song "Chot Dil Pe Lagi" on her Instagram, expressing her admiration for Pashmina.
