Fighting cancer is tough, with chemo and radiotherapy sessions, weakness, lack of appetite and other side effects.

Indian actress Hina Khan is bravely sharing the harsh realities of her battle with stage three breast cancer.

She was diagnosed in June 2023 and has been undergoing treatment since then.

On her Instagram account, Hina posted a video showing her struggle after standing for an hour at an event. The clip shows that she is rushed into an elevator, where she highlights the sneakers she wore under a sari and explains their importance for her comfort, “What a day it was.. as you all know I have this crippling Neuropathic Pain and it makes standing more than a few Mins at a stretch extremely difficult. This Event was a commitment made months before the side effects of my treatment presented itself. I’ll be honest, initially I wanted to refund and cancel this deal because this Event required me to stand for 1 and Half hour on the stage and I was extremely nervous and not sure if I will be able to pull it off.”

Hina Khan also explained her choice to wear sneakers under her sari: “Now a days anything cushioned in my feet gives me comfort in walking.. which is why we decided to wear a super comfy pair of shoes beneath my Saree.”

Despite the pain and obstacles, Hina remain committed to her work and goals. She expressed gratitude for her ability to continue pursuing her dreams, stating, “Blessed to have what I have and even while facing this phase of my life. I am thankful to Almighty coz I am able to do it and learn from so many brave souls. With the show, some strength, Faith in almighty, some pills and the support of my team we managed to pull it off and I am so proud of myself that I didn’t give up ”

Stage three breast cancer is an advanced stage of breast cancer where the cancer has spread to nearby tissues or organs, including lymph nodes.

Actress Yashma Gill recently addressed a misunderstanding involving Islamic scholar Zakir Naik and his presumption that she had left the entertainment industry.

A gathering was held at the Governor House in Sindh, Karachi, on October 5, attended by many people, including Yashma Gill. During a Q&A session with Dr. Zakir Naik, who is currently visiting Pakistan, she shared that, “I had once drifted away from my faith but later returned to religion after listening to Dr. Naik’s statements and watching his videos.”

Yashma Gill asked Dr. Zakir Naik, “When Allah has already written a person’s destiny, what control does a human have? If someone is doing right or wrong, who is responsible for it, since we believe that destiny is preordained, like a thief who steals?”

In response, Dr Naik said, “Our sister says she was previously an actress and later became religious after listening to my statements. I congratulate you for returning to the right path from the film industry. It is difficult to leave the media’s trap, but Allah is guiding many people.”

After the video of the event went viral, Yashma posted an Instagram story clarifying the situation. She wrote, “Last night, I had the opportunity to ask Dr. Zakir Naik a question, and I feel fortunate. I probably didn’t express myself properly due to the mic cutting out frequently and the noise from the crowd, which led to the misunderstanding that I had quit the entertainment industry.”

She explained, “To clarify, I am still a part of the industry and continue to work as an actress. If you watch the video from the beginning, you’ll understand. I don’t know what the future holds for me, but I am trying to maintain a balance between my religion and career. I deeply value Zakir Naik’s thoughts, as he played a role in bringing me closer to my faith.”

She added, “I apologize if my words hurt anyone’s feelings.”

Later, Yashma posted another story addressing those asking why she didn’t correct Dr. Zakir Naik immediately. She wrote, “To those questioning why I didn’t correct Dr. Naik at that moment, my answer is that it would have been highly disrespectful to interrupt him.”
