New Delhi: Well, hold onto your popcorn, folks, because Bollywood’s very own warrior princess, Hina Khan, has just shared a chapter from her life that’s nothing short of a blockbuster. Hina, who has been diagnosed with Stage 3 Breast Cancer, took to Instagram this Monday to give us a glimpse into her first chemotherapy session. And trust me, she didn’t just walk into that hospital; she sashayed in like it was the red carpet! 🎬✨
HINA KHAN’S FIRST CHEMOTHERAPY
So, Hina decided to let the world in on her journey by sharing a video that could put any tear-jerker movie to shame. Imagine this: she finds out about her diagnosis, then goes on to dazzle at an award event, and finally heads straight to the hospital for her first chemo. Talk about making an entrance!
In her post, Hina wrote:
"This award night, I knew about my cancer diagnosis, but I made a conscious choice to normalize it – not just for myself, but for all of us. This was the day that changed everything, marking the beginning of one of the most challenging phases of my life. So let’s do some affirmations.”
She went on to say:
"We become what we believe in and I have decided to take this challenge as an opportunity to reinvent myself, again. I have decided to keep the spirit of positivity as the first tool in my toolkit. I choose to normalize this experience for me and have consciously decided to manifest the outcome I desire. For me, my work commitments matter. For me, my motivation, passion and art matter. I refuse to bow down. This award that I received right before my first chemo was not my motivation alone; in fact, I attended this event to reassure myself that I am living up to the benchmark I have set for myself. MIND OVER MATTER. I attended the event and went straight up to the hospital for my first chemo. I humbly urge everyone out there too to first normalize the challenges of your lives, then set goals for yourself and try to live up to them all along the way. No matter how hard. Never back down. Never give up."

Naturally, the tinsel town brigade rallied behind her.
Dalljiet Kaur chimed in, “Inspired by your spirit Hina. Suddenly everything I am going through seems so stupidly small. Yes, normalizing the journey is very important. You have and always will be inspiring in so many ways. YOU WILL GET PERFECTLY FINE AND WILL BE BACK TO AN AWARD SHOW ACCEPTING MORE SUCH AWARDS VERY SOON."
Ektaa Kapoor couldn’t hold back, “Ur a star beyond stars! U shine d brightest.” And Mouni Roy added, “In awe of your strength and courage.”
Even Hina’s boyfriend, Rocky Jaiswal, showed his support with a simple yet powerful, “My fighter.”
HINA KHAN BREAST CANCER DIAGNOSIS
On June 28, Hina decided to break the news to her fans and followers, affectionately known as Hinaholics. She wrote:
"Hello Everyone, to address the recent rumour, 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."
She continued, requesting privacy:
"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. Please send your prayers, blessings, and love."

Nisha’s Nutshell 💡
Lesson of the day, darlings: When life gives you lemons, don’t just make lemonade—strut down the runway in a couture gown, then head to the chemo ward like you own the place. Normal is overrated; be extraordinary!
