Hina Khan resumed shooting days after being diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. Following her first chemotherapy session, the actor was seen preparing for her first assignment, with her team carefully concealing the stitch marks on her neck with tape. In her note, Hina urged everyone to normalize working amid cancer treatment.
She wrote, ‘My first work assignment after my diagnosis. Walking the talk is challenging, especially when facing life’s biggest challenges. So, give yourself a break on bad days; it’s okay you deserve it. However, don’t forget to live your life on the good days, no matter how few they are. These days still hold importance. Accept the change, embrace the difference, and normalise it (sic).’
She continued, ‘I look forward to the good days because I get to do what I love: Work. I love my work. I live my dreams when I’m working, and that is my greatest motivation. I want to keep working. Many people work regular jobs during their treatment without issues, and I am no different. I met a few in these months and trust me it changed my perspective (sic).’
She further wrote, ‘FYI I am undergoing a treatment but I am not always in the hospital..so to all you people out thr, Let’s normalise working and if you have the strength and energy, do whatever makes you happy.’
She concluded her note with, ‘And to all you beautiful people who are battling this disease, Remember, it’s your story; it’s your life. You decide what to make of it. Don’t give up and find what you love doing. Your work, your passion—if you don’t know what it is, invent it. But remember to give yourself the healing you deserve. Coz doing what you love is also Healing. Accept, embrace and normalise it (sic).’
Bhumi Pednekar, Gauahar Khan, Dalljiet Kaur, Rohan Mehra, and other celebrities sent her their best wishes.
