In a heart-wrenching yet inspiring revelation, Hina Khan disclosed her stage 3 breast cancer diagnosis through a poignant social media post. Hina, known for her resilience and positivity, took a significant step in her treatment journey by chopping off her long, beautiful hair in preparation for chemotherapy, sharing the emotional moment with her followers.
Hina's courageous decision to cut her hair, shared in an emotional video on her social media, struck a chord with both fans and celebrities. Among the flood of supportive messages, one from her 'Shinda Shinda No Papa' co-star, Gippy Grewal, was particularly notable.

Along with the video she wrote a heartwarming message that read - “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.
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. 🙏🏻
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

May God ease our pain and give us strength to be victorious🙏🏻 Plz Pray Pray Pray for me 🤲🙏🏻
