Hina Khan recently shared a poignant moment on her Instagram, revealing her courageous decision to cut her long hair after being diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. In a heartfelt video, she captured the emotional scene as her mother tearfully witnessed the hair cutting ahead of a chemotherapy session. Hina comforted her mother, emphasising that it's just hair and telling her not to worry about it affecting her health. She started chopping her hair with a heartfelt 'bismillah' and expressed a sense of liberation after the act.

Throughout breast cancer treatment journey, Hina has been inspiring her followers with motivational posts about her treatment and resilience. Dropping the video on Instagram, Hina wrote, "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."

"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," she added.

Further it read, "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 remains whole. I am recording my story, my journey, to ensure that my efforts to embrace myself reach everyone out there. If my story can make even one day of this heartwarming yet excruciating experience better for someone, it’s worth it."

Hina Khan also expressed her heartfelt gratitude to everyone supporting her during her challenging journey, including her boyfriend Rocky Jaiswal and her mother. In an Instagram post, she extended thanks to her close circle, including her makeup artist Sachin and hairstylist Dwyessh, who specially came to comfort her during her hair-cutting session. She stressed her appreciation for their unwavering support and prayers, seeking strength and victory over her illness.
