TV actor Hina Khan recently disclosed that she has been diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. On July 1, Hina posted a video showing her visiting a hospital for her first chemotherapy session immediately after attending an award show. The video starts with Hina posing for photographers on the red carpet and receiving an award at the event. It then shows her walking into the hospital for her chemotherapy.
‘All glam is gone and I’m ready for my first chemo in the hospital. Let’s get better,’ a visibly emotional Hina said in the video.
Sharing the clip, Hina wrote, ‘This award night, I knew about my cancer diagnosis, but I made a conscious choice to normalise it – not just for myself, but for all of us. This was the day that changed everything, it marked the beginning of one of the most challenging phases of my life. So Let’s do some affirmations.’
She continued, ‘We become what we believe in and I have decided to take this challenge as an opportunity to reinvent myself, again. I have decided to keep the spirit of positivity as the first tool in my toolkit. I choose to Normalise this experience for me and I have consciously decided to manifest the outcome I desire. For me, my work commitments matter. For me my motivation, passion and art matters. I refuse to bow down. This award that I received right before my first chemo was not my motivation alone, in fact I attended this event to reassure my self that I am living up to the benchmark, I have set up for myself. MIND OVER MATTER. I attended the event and went straight up to the hospital for my first chemo. I humbly urge everyone out there too to first Normalise the challenges of your lives then set goals for yourself and try to live up to them all along the way. No matter how hard. Never back down. Never give up.’
Reacting to the video, Hina’s longtime boyfriend Rocky called her ‘my fighter’ in the comment section. Actor Arti Singh wrote, ‘You are inspiration to so many… Allah is with you. Your daddy is with you. You are unstoppable like the song you have put. Dua and prayers for you.’
