Cancer-Hit Hina Khan Normalizing Work Despite Everything!

Popular for her roles in shows like 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' and 'Kasauti Zindagi Kay', Bollywood actress Hina Khan has recently been diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. She is undergoing treatment now but it is not stopping her from working as she is back on sets already.

She posted a video where she is seen getting ready for the shot and wearing a wig to cover the ill effects of treatment. She says, “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 added, “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.”

Emphasizing normalizing work, she stated, “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. 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.”

Her determination and strength to work despite her hardships is truly inspirational. The manner in which she is shedding light on it and offers hope is surely going to lift the spirits of people who are going through health issues.
