Hina Khan, who rose to superstardom as Akshara in ‘Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai’, revealed her Stage 3 breast cancer diagnosis in 2024. She emphasised the importance of listening to one’s body.
Speaking to ETimes, she said, “We need to listen to our bodies; they give us signals. I didn’t have a lump, so this was a signal.” Urging people to remain vigilant, she added, “We all get different kinds of signals… we have to understand that kuch toh galat hai.” Despite her diagnosis, Hina continues to work and attend events, sparking a global conversation around early detection and resilience.
