Hina Khan, a famous Indian TV actress, is fighting breast cancer. To prepare for chemotherapy’s hair loss side effect, she bravely cut her hair short.
Known for her lead role in a popular show and a reality show appearance, Khan shared a video documenting this part of her cancer journey.
The video shows Khan smiling as she prepares for the haircut, while her mother cries in the background. Khan herself gets emotional during the haircut, but ends with a smile rocking her new short hairstyle.
In a message with the video, Khan motivates other women battling cancer. She acknowledges how hair is important for many women, but emphasizes that fighting the disease is more important.
Hina explains her decision to cut her hair proactively to avoid the emotional stress of gradual hair loss. She highlights that her true strength comes from her courage and spirit, not her hair. Khan also mentions plans to use her hair to make a wig.
The news of Khan’s stage 3 breast cancer diagnosis became public last week. Many fans and celebrities have wished her a speedy recovery.
