Hina Khan Says Spirituality Helped Her Cope With Cancer Treatment Actress Hina Khan shared her personal experience with breast cancer, emphasizing how spirituality played a vital role in her emotional resilience during the grueling process of chemotherapy. Known for her role in the popular television series Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai, Hina revealed her diagnosis in June 2024, marking the beginning of a challenging chapter in her life. In a candid conversation on actress Soha Ali Khan’s podcast All About Her in December 2025, she reflected on her journey, describing it as one of the most difficult periods she had ever faced. Hina detailed the physical toll of her treatment, which included significant changes to her body. She admitted to gaining weight, experiencing hair loss, and even losing her eyelashes, all of which took a psychological toll. “I put on a lot of weight. My body changed. I lost my hair. That’s one blow, which is very hard,” she said. The emotional strain of seeing herself in the mirror was overwhelming, and she acknowledged the struggle of accepting her diagnosis and the subsequent treatment. However, she credited the unwavering support of her family and loved ones, along with her faith, for helping her maintain a positive outlook. “I have always believed that everything in life is temporary. Physical appearance changes. Vanity affects you, but sanity should replace it,” she explained. Hina encouraged cancer patients to prioritize positivity by surrounding themselves with supportive relationships, meditation, and spiritual practices. “Especially spirituality. It has changed me,” she added, highlighting its transformative impact on her mindset. The actress also stressed the importance of giving one’s best during treatment, even when the outcome is uncertain.#cancer_treatment #yeh_rishta_kya_kehlata_hai #soha_ali_khan #hina_khan #all_about_her
