Hina Khan opens up about her health and recovery

Hina Khan has often spoken honestly about her health journey. Earlier, while talking to IANS about her cancer treatment, she said, “It was tough, it was very tough; those days were extremely, extremely tough. So every patient is given a gap of around a week between the first and the second chemotherapy; for some it is even three weeks, depending on the diagnosis.”

She added, “So in my case, I used to take chemotherapy every three weeks. So, my first week used to be extremely hard, so painful, I used to get a lot of pain in my nerves, but the rest of the two weeks were fab. During that time, I have travelled, I have done everything.”

On the professional front, Hina was last seen in ‘Pati Patni Aur Panga’ with her husband Rocky Jaiswal.
