Television Star Hina Khan Shares Powerful Moment Ahead of Chemotherapy
05.07.2024: Television actor Hina Khan, who recently revealed her stage 3 breast cancer diagnosis, shared a heartfelt update on her journey. On Thursday, Hina posted a video of herself cutting her hair before starting a chemotherapy session. The emotional clip shows Hina seated in front of a mirror, ready for the significant moment, while her mother cries inconsolably in the background. Hina, trying to comfort her mother, takes the scissors and cuts the first lock of her hair.
A Message of Strength and Courage
Hina Khan documented her experience with a touching note. She began by acknowledging her mother’s emotional reaction, “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.” Hina addressed the emotional challenge of losing her hair, a symbol of beauty and pride for many women. She shared, “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.”
Choosing to Win
Hina continued with a message of determination, “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. Aur haan.. I have decided to use my own hair to make a nice wig for this phase.”
Documenting Her Journey
Hina emphasized her intention to inspire others facing similar battles by documenting her journey. “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.”
Gratitude for Support
In her post, Hina thanked those who have supported her during this difficult time, writing, “Also 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.”
