Hina Khan, the celebrated actress determined to conquer stage 3 breast cancer, recently shared an emotionally charged video on Instagram. This poignant clip, featuring Hina getting her hair cut in the midst of her treatment, has struck a chord with fans and followers. It reveals not just the struggles of coping with cancer but also showcases Hina’s undying spirit and resilience.
In the video, Hina is seen sitting in front of a mirror while her friend carefully braids her hair. Close by, Hina’s mother is visibly distraught, sitting on the bed and crying as she witnesses her daughter preparing to cut her hair. Amidst her mother’s wailing, Hina remains composed and continuously reassures her: “Please don’t cry, mom. It’s just hair, mom. You don’t have to cut it, okay?” Hina’s determination to be strong for her mother is both heartbreaking and inspiring. “Enough. It will make you unwell,” she adds, urging her mother to find strength in this challenging moment.
Accompanying the video, Hina posted a heartfelt message that resonated deeply with her followers. She explained, “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.” Hina’s words reflected the depths of the emotional struggle and the strength required to face such a battle. She continued, “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.”
Hina went on to explain her decision to cut her hair before the treatment-induced hair loss began, emphasizing the importance of making empowering choices during such an ordeal. “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.” Hina’s resolve is evident as she expresses her decision to have a wig made from her own hair for the duration of this difficult phase. “Hair will grow back, eyebrows will return, scars will fade, but the spirit must remain whole,” she affirms.
Making a powerful statement to her followers, Hina noted her intention to share her journey with the world, hoping that it might offer solace and strength to others going through similar experiences. “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 who have stood by her side throughout this journey, acknowledging their unwavering 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,” Hina wrote, expressing her heartfelt thanks.
Concluding her powerful message, Hina offered a hopeful and prayerful note, “May God ease our pain and give us strength to be victorious. Plz Pray Pray Pray for me.”
