Television’s popular actress Hina Khan graced the stage of the Zee Samvad Real Heroes 2026 Awards, held in Mumbai on February 6. She was joined by two distinguished guests, Dr. Ankita Mittal, a gynecologist, and Dr. Geetha Manjunath, CEO of Nirmai AI. During the event, Hina opened up about her battle with stage 3 breast cancer and the challenges she faced. Reflecting on her journey, she said, “Dekhiye, main aesa toh nahi kahungi ki sab kuch smoothly nikal gaya. Hard hai, bohot hard hai.”
Hina was celebrated as a Real Hero for her resilience. She shared, “Jab apko pata chalta hai, tab apko samajh mein nahi aata hai ki aap kya karein. But your pain, your loved ones, and courage let you pass those days. I kept up the courage. That’s what I did and am still doing. I have always posted on my stories that I will not stop till my heart stops.”
When asked how she reacted to her diagnosis, Hina revealed that she was initially surprised but quickly composed herself. She even treated herself to a sweet indulgence: faluda. “Main ab chill karungi aur uske bas so gayi,” she recalled with a smile.
