A year after Indian TV star Hina Khan announced her breast cancer diagnosis, Hina candidly admits that the entertainment industry isn’t quite ready to embrace her fully yet. “No one has called me for the last year,” she shared in an interview, reflecting on how her hiatus impacted professional offers.
Hina emphasised that no one has explicitly cited concerns about her recovery but she “can sense that maybe people are hesitant to work with me for all the right reasons.” She likened this cautiousness to a protective instinct yet acknowledged the psychological toll it takes.
“It’s okay. I’ll have to break that norm. Maybe the show will do it; I understand it. Had I been in their place, I would’ve thought about it a thousand times. I’m open to auditions. Where did I stop? No one has called me for the last year, for all the reasons. I’m open to everything; please call me,” Hina Khan revealed.
Hina Khan Opens Up On Life After Stage 3 Breast Cancer Diagnosis
On her return to Pati Patni Aur Panga, “It was a big step for me to take up the show, and it was an experiment as far as my health is concerned, like whether I’ll be able to do it or not.” So far so good; I get a bit tired, but apart from that, everything is fine. I’m ready to take up anything, be it a digital show or anything; I would not take up a long-term commitment. If anything is offered (in films), if they find me worthy enough, then why not?” the actress said.
The Diagnosis
In late 2022, Hina Khan received the tragic news that she had stage 3 breast cancer. This advanced level of cancer typically involves larger tumours as well as more significant lymph node involvement, making treatment harder.
The Initial Struggle
Upon being diagnosed, Hina had mixed feelings, including fear and disbelief. The idea of fighting a deadly disease was overwhelming, but then she realised that having a positive mindset was key.
Treatment Journey
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy was the starting point in terms of treating Hina for this illness within stage three breast cancer. Due to its aggressive nature at stage III, many therapies are used together to shrink the tumour size and rid one of every possible cell causing cancer in his or her body system.
During this time frame, which involved several series of chemotherapy cycles as part of her breast cancer treatment, it drained much energy out of her and took away her smile. Though she experienced some unpleasant symptoms related to the therapy, such as loss of hair, weakness, and feeling sick all the time.
Surgery
After the chemotherapy treatment was over, Hina underwent a mastectomy to remove the remaining cancerous tissue. This was a significant surgical intervention aimed at getting rid of all traces of cancer and preventing further incidences from happening again in the future.
Radiation Therapy
In addition to this, Hina received radiation therapy to destroy any remaining cancer cells found in her body. The process usually involves directing intense rays towards the targeted part, leading to cases where skin itching might be felt, coupled with fatigue.
Raising Awareness
Hina Khan has contributed greatly towards creating awareness about breast cancer through being open about it. On various social media platforms, she uses them to educate followers on early detection methods, regular mammograms, or self-examinations, among others. Sharing this story demystifies the disease, thus reducing the stigma surrounding it.
