Mumbai: Actor Hina Khan, who is inspiring her fans every day with her journey of battling breast cancer, opened up about how she is smiling despite being in pain.
Taking to Instagram stories on Tuesday, Hina posted, “Being constantly in pain. Yes, constantly. Every single second. The person is smiling? Still in pain. The person doesn’t mention it? Still in pain. The person says “I’m fine”. Still in pain.”
Recently, she has resumed work despite undergoing chemotherapy.
In a post shared by her on Instagram, the actress can be seen getting ready for a shoot for her first work assignment since her diagnosis.
In a heartfelt post, Hina wrote, “My first work assignment after my diagnosis..Walking the talk is challenging, especially when facing life’s biggest challenges. So, give yourself a break on bad days; it’s okay… you deserve it. However, don’t forget to live your life on the good days, no matter how few they are. These days still hold importance. Accept the change, embrace the difference, and normalize it.”
“I look forward to the good days because I get to do what I love: Work. I love my work. I live my dreams when I’m working, and that is my greatest motivation. I want to keep working. Many people work regular jobs during their treatment without issues, and I am no different. I met a few in these months and trust me, it changed my perspective,” she added.
Sharing her love for her work and how it serves as her motivation, Hina continued, “FYI I am undergoing a treatment but I am not always in the hospital. So to all you people out thr, Let’s NORMALISE working and if you have the strength and energy, do whatever makes you HAPPY.”
“And to all you beautiful people who are battling this disease, Remember, it’s your story; it’s your life. You decide what to make of it. Don’t give up and find what you love doing. Your work, your passion–if you don’t know what it is, invent it. But remember to give yourself the healing you deserve. Coz doing what you love is also Healing,” she further added.
Earlier in June, Hina confirmed that she had been diagnosed with stage three breast cancer.
