Hina Khan, a household name in the entertainment industry, continues to inspire fans with her courage amid her battle with stage three breast cancer. The Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai actress recently revealed a challenging aspect of her journey—how removing her cap would trigger severe migraines lasting for days.
In an exclusive chat with Pinkvilla, Hina shared how she struggled with extreme sensitivity, forcing her to remain covered at all times. “Even for 10 minutes, I couldn’t keep my scalp open. The migraines were unbearable, and I had to sleep with three quilts, gloves, and socks during chemotherapy,” she confessed.
Amidst her struggle, Hina turned her pain into motivation for others. She recalled a powerful moment when she showed her bald scalp to a worker at her home who consumed gutka (chewing tobacco). “I told him, ‘This is what cancer can do.’ The next day, he quit,” she revealed, emphasizing the importance of health awareness.
While Hina had initially planned to embrace her bald look publicly, her health condition made it impossible. Nevertheless, her journey remains a beacon of strength. Fans continue to rally behind the actress, who last appeared on Bigg Boss 18 and Khatron Ke Khiladi 13.
