Actor Priyank Sharma, who participated with Hina Khan in Bigg Boss season 11 and is a close friend of the actress, expressed his concern about Hina’s breast cancer diagnosis and said that he has been in touch with her ever since he found out about it through social media. Speaking to Hindustan Times, he said, “It is extremely sad. I was speechless when I found out. I didn’t know how to react to it. I was shooting in another city, so I couldn’t meet Hina for a few months, but I was still in touch with her. It doesn’t matter where I found out from, all that matters is that my friend gets well as soon as possible. That’s all that matters.”
Priyank, who worked with Khan in the music video Raanjhanaa, said, “I hope she comes back soon. I have seen Hina fight some of the toughest battles in life, and I am sure this will be one of those things that she will emerge victorious from.”
Hina Khan recently revealed that she has stage 3 breast cancer. On Monday, the actress shared a video on Instagram, in which she is seen heading to the hospital for her first chemotherapy session right after attending an awards show. The video begins with Hina posing for photographers on the red carpet and receiving an award at the event. She is then seen entering the hospital for her chemo session. In the video, Hina says, “All the glitz is over and I’m ready for my first chemo at the hospital. Let’s get well.” Along with the post, she wrote, “On this awards night, I was aware of my cancer diagnosis, but I made a conscious choice to normalise it – not just for myself, but for all of us. This was the day that changed everything, it marked the beginning of one of the most challenging phases of my life.”
Hina Khan said, “So let’s talk about something positive. We become what we believe in, and I have decided to take this challenge as an opportunity to rediscover myself. I have decided to keep the spirit of positivity as the first tool in my toolkit. I have chosen to normalise this experience for myself and consciously chose to manifest the desired outcome. For me…my work commitments matter. For me my inspiration, passion and art matter. I refuse to bow down. This award that I received just 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 that I have set for myself. Top of mind.”
Hina Khan’s longtime boyfriend Rocky Jaiswal showed his support in the comments section and wrote, “Mere fighter”. Arti Singh commented, “You are an inspiration to many… Allah is with you. Your daddy is with you. You are invincible just like the song you put out. Duas and prayers for you.”
