Hina Khan Breast Cancer : Actor Hina Khan, who recently revealed that she has been diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer shared a video of herself in a super short haircut.
The actor's mum broke down after seeing the video.
Hina's mother was visibly emotional as Hina chopped off her hair, a common step taken by many undergoing chemotherapy.
In the video, the actor is seen sitting in front of a mirror as her friend braids her hair. She is also seen consoling her mother, who sat on the bed and cried.
In the video the actor is heard saying, "Ro nahi please mumma. It's just hair, mumma. Baal hain, aap nahi cut karte ho. Bas. Aapki tabiyat kharab hojayegi (loosely translated).
She captioned the video, “You can hear my mother’s wailing voice in Kashmiri (blessing me) in the background as she prepared herself to witness something she never dared to imagine. Not all of us have the same tools at our disposal to manage heartbreaking emotions.”
Encouraging women who are fighting the same battle, she wrote, “To all the beautiful people out there, especially women who are fighting the same battle, I know it’s hard, I know for most of us, our hair is the crown we never take off. But what if you’re facing a battle so tough that you have to lose your hair—your pride, your crown? If you want to win you’ve got to take some tough decisions. And I choose to win.”
“I have decided to give myself every chance possible to win this battle. I choose to let go of my beautiful hair before it starts falling off. I didn’t want to endure this mental breakdown for weeks. So, I choose to let go of my crown because I’ve realized my real crown is my COURAGE, my STRENGTH , and the love I have for myself. Aur haan.. I have decided to use my own hair to make a nice Wig for this phase. ????
Hair will grow back, eyebrows will return, scars will fade, but the spirit must remain whole,” she added.
In the last video, actor posted a glimpse of her first chemotherapy session right after she attended an award show.
The video begins with Hina posing for the paps on the red carpet and receiving an award at an event. Then she is seen walking into the hospital for her chemo.
Hina seems emotional and is heard saying "All glam is gone and I'm ready for my first chemo in the hospital. Let's get better."
Sharing the video, she 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."
