Hina Khan Chops Off Her Hair as She Undergoes Chemotherapy for Breast Cancer, Her Mom Breaks Down
Hina Khan is showing great strength as she battles breast cancer. Recently, she shared a video of her first chemotherapy session, which happened right after she attended an award show. Now, she has decided to cut her hair before it falls out due to the treatment.
Hina, known for her roles in popular TV shows, has been diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer and is currently undergoing chemotherapy. In the video, Hina is seen cutting her hair, a step she took to stay in control during this tough time. Her mother can be heard crying in the background as she watched her daughter take this brave step. 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.”
She shared her feelings with her followers, especially women who might be going through the same thing. “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.”
Hina explained her choice, saying, “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.”
Hina also mentioned that she plans to use her hair to make a wig. “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. 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 thanked her loved ones and supporters who have been with her during this challenging time. “This day couldn’t have gone as I hoped without the presence of the people who have taken a vow to support me thru thick and thin. My people @rockyj1, MOM @heenaladjoshi, @manaanmeer, @sachinmakeupartist1. And a big thank you to @dwyessh_hairwizard for coming all the way from Santacruz after his hectic day at his salon to make this as comfortable as possible.. loved the haircut Dwyessh Thank you and love you. May God ease our pain and give us strength to be victorious. Plz Pray Pray Pray for me.”
Hina’s decision to share her journey has touched many people, giving strength and inspiration to those facing similar battles. Her courage and openness show that even in difficult times, the human spirit can remain strong and resilient.
