Hina Khan Shares Heartbreaking Video as She Chops Off her Hair Amid Stage 3 Breast Cancer Diagnosis
Hina Khan, the renowned television actor, recently shared a heartbreaking video documenting her battle with breast cancer and her decision to cut her hair short. The emotional clip revealed the raw and heartfelt moments she experienced with her family, especially her mother.
In the video, Hina is seen sitting in front of a mirror as a friend braids her hair. Her mother, sitting on the bed, breaks down in tears. Hina consoles her, saying, "Ro nahi please mumma. It's just hair, mumma. Baal hain, aap nahi cut karte ho. Bas. Aapki tabiyat kharab hojayegi". With a determined spirit, Hina proceeds to snip off the first pigtail, while her friends help with the rest.
After the haircut, an emotional moment unfolds as Hina's mother hugs her and plants a kiss on her cheek. Sharing this intimate video, 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."
Hina used this moment to inspire others who are fighting similar battles. "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 hairβyour pride, your crown? If you want to win you've got to take some tough decisions. And I choose to win," she stated.
Expressing her resolve, Hina shared, "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 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 also expressed her gratitude to the people in her life who have been pillars of support. "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. 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," she continued.
On June 28, Hina confirmed her diagnosis of stage three breast cancer. She shared on Instagram, "Hello Everyone, to address the recent rumor, I want to share some important news with all the Hinaholics and everyone who loves and cares for me. I have been diagnosed with stage three breast cancer. Despite this challenging diagnosis, I wish to reassure everyone that I am doing well. I am strong, determined and fully committed to overcoming this disease. My treatment has already begun and I am ready to do everything necessary to emerge from this even stronger."
Hina asked for privacy and respect during this challenging time, appreciating the love and support from her fans. "I kindly ask for your respect and privacy during this time. I deeply appreciate your love, strength and blessings. Your personal experiences, anecdotes and supportive suggestions would mean the world to me as I navigate this journey. I, along with my family and loved ones, remain focused, determined and positive. With the grace of the almighty, we believe I will overcome this challenge and will be completely healthy.
