Hina Khan, known for her roles in popular TV shows like Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai and Kasautii Zindagii Kay, has bravely returned to work amidst her ongoing battle with stage 3 breast cancer. The actor, who revealed her diagnosis on Instagram last month, has been sharing her journey with her followers, emphasizing the importance of normalizing life during treatment.
In a recent Instagram post, Hina shared a video of herself on her first work assignment since her diagnosis. She is seen wearing a wig and candidly discussing the challenges she faces. "The show must go on," she stated in the video, showcasing her unwavering determination.
Hina's post included a heartfelt note about her journey. "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," she wrote.
She expressed her love for her work, saying, "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."
Hina also stressed the importance of finding joy and maintaining a positive outlook during such challenging times. "FYI I am undergoing treatment but I am not always in the hospital. So to all you people out there, let’s NORMALISE working and if you have the strength and energy, do whatever makes you HAPPY," she said.
She concluded her message with an empowering note to others battling cancer: "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."
With hashtags like #ScarredNotScared, #AWindowToMyJourney, #TheGirlWhoNeverGivesUp, #DaddysStrongGirl, and #OneDayAtATime, Hina's post resonated with many and showcased her strength and resilience.
