Hina Khan has been fighting stage three breast cancer for about a year, and the actress has come out as an inspiration for many who are battling problems in life. Recently, the actress revealed the taboos surrounding artists in the entertainment industry.
While speaking to ANI, Hina Khan said, “This taboo that a cancer patient has to sit at home and do nothing, and that their life is over, is not true. A few days are difficult, but after that, you can get back to work. You should have that will, that strength, and the love of your family.”
“I will always keep doing this (acting), provided my body supports me. Your mental strength is the most important thing. Therefore, you must be mentally strong and remain happy. If you think this (cancer) is nothing, it becomes nothing,” she added while sharing that she will never quit acting.
